Verizon now CHARGES for basic Cloud backup of Contacts and Messages? HELP!

Google has started backing up SMS.

I thought that was only on Pixels for the time being?

50GB??? Yikes! I used 957GB last month.

I have Comcast, who does 1 TB. That is the satellite service I was referring to, and the reason I don't switch.

On Android phones, just backup/sync contacts with the Google Account.

SMS/MMS? Does Verizon Messages+ automatically delete them? I don't treat SMS/MMS as anything long term so I don't know and quite frankly, I don't care if I lose SMS/MMS messages that I've already read.
