In what countries do carriers charge for receiving messages? I know there are a few in Canada, but what else is there?
It's standard practice in the US if you don't have a texting plan, or if you exceed your limit. Sending and receiving both count equally.
On most plans offered in the US nowadays texting is included. All of the T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Straight Talk, Republic, etc plans have unlimited texting included.
