Both do. We had no texting plan for a while and you do pay 25 cents per message to receive. We had AT&T, but a quick search reveals Sprint and Verizon do the same thing (slightly different prices). This isn't uncommon or something, at least in the United States.

In what country do you NOT have to pay to receive a text message? Is this only in the United States? I never really thought about it, but if that's the case maybe this freedom is getting out of hand...
Hi, I posted the Question. In Europe You pay to SEND a text not to receive one. It seems strange to me that you pay for an incommin text! Like I do not pay for picking up the phone when I am beeing called, I pay when I call someone and I pay when I send a text.
In South Africa you don't pay to receive a text also. But I wish we did because someone can literally spam you with texts and you can't even reply -_-.
