Text Message Charges


Recommended Posts

Wtf? You get charged for receiving messages?

Strange.. here in Aus, we have to pay 25c to send a message, but nothing to receive them. I've always wondered what the prices were like in USA for mobiles calls/messages

25 cents (Australian or American??) either way, for an outgoing message - it's a rip off!!

As for incoming messages, I don't know what Verizon does but T-mobile and Cingular do not charge for incoming messages

I can't believe that it costs money to open a text message in some places, thats a rip off, because you never sent the message.

It costs me AUD$0.22 to send a SMS message (total rip off for a small text message), but I'm aware that there are plans that give you hunderds of SMS's a month for nothing.

rightofway, I'd change phone plans if they are charging you money to reveive a text message on your mobile phone.

You don't get charged in the u.k by any network for opening a txt message.

It's between 7p and 12p (14-22 us cents) on a payg tariff to send one, cheaper (or free) on a subscription tariff.

I can't believe thay charge you for opening a message, that's ridiculous.

yes they do charge.

t-mobile = 5cents to send/receive

cingular = 10cents to send/receive

t-mobile txt plans are..

$2.99 per month for 300 total messages per month.

10.99 per month for unlimited amount of txt mssgs.

also for anyone who has t-mobile.. always take advantage of their t-zones service. just call 611 and ask to try out t-zones for a month for free. you get unlimited bandwidth.. i don't know if thats the correct term they use, but you can browse all you want, i don't know if downloading pictures or ringtones will be free though.. then a few days before the month is up, call up, cancel the service, wait a week or two, call back for the same promo. i did it for about a year straight and now i just don't use it. otherise its 2.99 a month.

    • yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53
    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
