I have a few Orange phones, and don't recall ever being charged to
receive
texts, just to send them.
My son has a US mobile(Verizon), and he pays 2 cents a message to receive
texts, more to send them.
In the USA you get charged for receiving anything, texts, calls everything.
However they also have inclusive packages that have thousands of free
minutes as a fraction of the cost of our inclusive packages.
