Usage History Questions

[DanAR]

1) I've noticed that Usage History shows regular outgoing texts to 7723.  No charge or time is shown. This seems to be automatic. What is this?

2) Can I download Usage history for my own use, say in a csv, excel or similar file?

Thanks for your attention.

It doesn't seem like a very good solution. Will it stop SMS as a whole if Google Dialer is disabled? That's the concern!

Thanks.

I'll look at my settings and correct them.

Thanks.

I learn something every day.

@DanAR this is correct.  It's the Google Dialer trying to configure Visual Voicemail, which is a service that Public Mobile does not offer.  

There is no export available.  Some have manually copied-and-pasted from the page to an Excel sheet.  I believe someone was working on an automated way to "screen scrape" the info from the page, but I'm not sure that ever materialized.
