Verizon says it is going to waive its new text message fees for a popular education app, after teachers and parents spoke out. However, the app company is skeptical that the telecom giant will follow through.

As Motherboard reported Monday, educators have been calling Verizon out on Twitter after they learned that Remind—a communication app used by teachers, parents, and students—would no longer offer text message alerts to Verizon users who have the free version of the app, due to an increase in fees.
