I guess this is another difference between US and the rest of the world. Whereas most of the globe EXPECTS fee inbound SMS, even the international cards have it, most in the US AFAIK expect to pay for inbound SMS. My Verizon postpay and prepay charged them; T-MO postpaid also charges extra.

Yes, I realise that paying for incoming SMS is accepted in the US because it's an "obvious" situation
and, as Bossman said, T-Mo prepaid is the only exception from this rule. Nevertheless, I think that paying for incoming SMSes is really unfair. You can choose not to answer a voice call or not to accept to receive an MMS, but you're not able to reject an SMS.
