Should T-Mobile charge you for every time someone text-messages you, even if you

don't open that text-message? Because if they can, some malicious group of people could text-message you and send you 100 text-messages, and- even though you don't open them- could cause you to be charged $15.00 bucks. Is that really right? I mean, if someone calls you long-distance on your landline and you see that it's long-distance, on your caller-ID, you can choose not to answer it, to avoid the long-distance charges. Why doesn't T-Mobile adopt the same attitude towards text-messages?
No, I was told Unlimited Text Messaging would be $14.99 a month.
Yeah, ShaH, they charge you .15 cents per text message sent to me, whther I check it or not. In other words, the people sending the Text Message to me are the ones charging it to me. This is the mobile phone services financial equivalent to rape as far as I'm concerned. So I have no control over the charges.
No, jus_mex2, when I've called T-Mobile, they've told me they cannot block Text Messaging (they cannot block people from causing me to be billed for the text messages they merely SEND to me, whether I check them or not)
 
or you could just get unlimited messaging for like $5 a month... that's what I did.
 
Never heard of incoming text-message charges... Change your company if this is what they do...
