What if you use your mobile phone to receive a million texts per day and the sender uses a different service provider. Your service provider has to pay for all that data moving through its network one way or another...

I don't know exactly how inter-provider billing works, but I assume the sender's network pays the receiving network. The sender caused the traffic, why would anyone else pay for it?
