Text message cost?

Does Cingular charge to receive text messages? I was formerally on AT&T and
they only charged to send text messages. I was just wondering if Cingular
charges to send & receive or just send. Thanks

Cingular charges for outgoing and incoming text and picture messages
unless you have a text or pic plan then they will count against that
plans bucket of messages.

I remained on my ATTWS plan and I still receive messages for free. My
understanding is that Cingular will not offer free incoming messages if
ATTWS customers eventually "upgrade" to Cingular plans.

When I'm ready to upgrade, it will be with Verizon, who already provides me
with all of my other communications services.

Can you think of a more elegantly deceptive way to charge twice for the same
service?

No different than counting incoming and outgoing phone minutes is it?

That's a rip off. If that happen in Europe, the regulator would fine
the network provider rather a lot of dough. The regulator has already
reduced roaming termination charges when travelling abroad. We only
pay for incomming and outgoing calls (voice, sms, mms) when roaming.
Don't you have a regulator for that (FCC???)
