Cingular Customers, i have a question?

[Mayfriday0529]

Is it free to recieve text message? i know it cost .02 or 10cents for sending from your phone, but is it free to recieve them from your friends?

I can't find that on the FAQ at cingular website, and i just want to make sure because i keep sending a friend of mine text messages on his cingular account.

Nope, you pay to receive them as well.

Yeah... It kind of sucks. If you send a lot of text messages, it's worth it to add one of the media plans (or whatever) to your phone. If you don't send a lot, then the $0.10 both ways isn't going to kill you.

well i probably added already like 2.50$ to his phone bill.

that really sucks because anyone can text message you if they know your phone number and add to your phone bill.
