Nor do I, exactly. I think the previous poster is expressing surprise 
that you have to pay to *receive* texts. For all UK (and probably 
European) call plans, texts are free to receive - even when roaming away 
from your own country.

In the UK, it generally costs more to call a mobile phone (cellphone) 
than to call a landline - but it costs nothing to receive a call on a 
mobile. AIUI, in the US it *does* cost to receive a call on a mobile. 
Does this mean that there's no extra charge for *calling* a mobile?

If so, I wonder whether that is the basis of the previous poster's 
question. Does the fact that you have to pay to receive an SMS mean that 
the sender pays less to send it?
