That is why #1 I pay full price for a phone/ebay so I am not locked into a contract. #2 I don't ever plan to get service with a carrier that charges for incoming texts.
Good luck with finding one....they all charge for incoming texts...
In my area, iWireless (a T-Mobile affiliate) and US Cellular do NOT charge for incoming SMS on any plans AFAIK. Also, many prepaids do not charge for incoming or they are much cheaper.

This is why I had AT&T block all SMS/MMS/Text messaging on my account. AT&T Wireless used to have free incoming messages.
Cingular/AT&T Mobility charge enough to force you to use a monthly plan. Since I have to have a phone plan, a call is cheaper, followed by a data plan with email.

That would be great! And maybe that's what it will take to fix this inequality of service(s).

Just wait till one of these cell phone spammers is successful at sending a ton of messages to a couple million subscribers. You think the wait times for customer service are bad now. The more expensive these things get the less people will overlook a spam message.
