Why won't verizon allow those text message coupons you sign up for online?

So, I signed up for those text messages on American Eagle and Urban Outfitters that send you coupons. But everytime they send me something, I get a message saying "Free VZW Msg. Your msg was blocked and was not delivered. Only the account holder can change you settings to allow access privileges".

Well, my dad gave me the account password and everything and said I was free to change the settings. But now that I'm on the account, I don't know how. Are they parental controls or spam controls or what?
