It is standard to pay for receiving as well as sending SMS in the US. Everybody knows this is insane.

It's not at all standard on smartphones though. Almost all data plans include at least several hundred texts per month.

Not on AT&T, as far as I can tell. It's either $20/month for unlimited messaging, or $0.20 each. So, unless you're sending or receiving more than 100 messages a month, you're better off without a plan.

I've got a 200 message/month plan from AT&T for $5 a month. My only complaint is that I can't share messages across the two lines on the account so each gets billed $5. (Also, no data plan.)
