For once, we're not "rip-off Britain!". I'm on a plan (T-Mobile) that costs 3p (about 6c) for every message I send. There is no charge to receive messages.

I'm not terribly sure, but I think no EU cellphone provider charges to receive messages. The reason being, you can't choose to accept or decline messages - they just come to you regardless. This is unlike calls, which you choose to accept.

Even when you're roaming abroad, no UK provider charges to receive text messages!
