No, but who am I to keep mega companies from making a buck. |
Melf   |
No. That's ridiculous. I wouldn't use my mobile if that was the case. |
| Iseult |
Of course not. There shouldn't be a charge for sending one either. |

With some prepaid plans here in Canada, you do get charged when you recieve a text. At least that's how it was few years ago, I don't know if they changed it. |
| ausfox |
Hell no |
| Cain |
No, of course not. Bad enough that the person sending the text pays 10p for something that costs the phone company 0.01p. |

No. Prices are high enough these days. |

This is a good question--I don't think you should, since you can't refuse one. I don't have a plan that includes texts because I don't send or receive them all that often. I am more than happy to pay for the few that I do send and receive from friends. But it ticks me off when I have to pay 15 cents for a spam text message that some random butt-hole sends me. |

Do people's plans really not charge for receiving texts? My plan does. It's T-Mobile. I should check and make sure they're still charging for receiving them, but they were the last time I looked. |

I don't know .......... I hate texting so I am the wrong person |
| moviesnob |
Yes. It's a service you're using, it's not free. Just get an unlimited bundle plan. |
| Crayons |
No since I don't have a phone, that would be so.. unfair. |

i have a state phone, my text messages are free, your tax money at work, but my personal phone i have unlimited texts, charging for texts is stupid then you got salesman and telemarketers sending you texts running up your phone bill |
LindaH  |
No. I think it should be illegal to charge for incoming texts. What's to stop your own phone company from text sending you offers and then charging you for receiving them? I think it's unethical to charge someone for something they have no control over. |
| JohnCD |
No, I don't think there should be. |

 oooh, sorry, that was me... |
| Enheduanna |
You're a random butt-hole?! |
| cloudhugger |
I'm more of an butt-hole picking random victims.
heh heh |
| Enheduanna |
Well, you owe me 15 cents. |
| cloudhugger |
Sure, but it will cost you $149.95. |
| Enheduanna |
And will I have to extend my contract for two years? |
| cloudhugger |
Oh no, not at all.Rest easy! You will not have to do anything, this is for the rest of your life. |
| LindaH | | (reply to moviesnob) posted 12-Aug-2008 11:34am |
Receiving messages, though... It would be like being charged every time you received a phone call (even a wrong number) or (for a wacky analogy) every time someone knocked on your door. |
| Enheduanna |
Well, that's a relief. |
| JessicaWoman99 | | posted 13-Aug-2008 11:45pm |
A $50.00 charge for receiving text messages |
| JessicaWoman99 |
> Well, that's a relief.
A relief yes Gas-Ex that is a relief |
| LindaH |
a $50.00 fine for deliberately sending text messages to people who don't want you to. |

Or even a $1,000,00 of dollars would really hurt like "ouch" LOL |
