I've never seen a phone provider that doesn't still let you receive texts when you aren't paying for a text plan. They're just stupidly expensive to send/receive without a plan. (E.g. $0.50 per SMS.)

Paying for received texts is a US-only thing.

And the crappiest of all, if you're on a smartphone, you get charged for those texts even if you don't open them.

Pretty sure you get charged for texts on dumb phones too
