Does receiving an SMS text message cost anything for the recipient?

Updated: Sat, Jan 28th, 2017 @ 1:02pm
The SMS and MMS messages are generally included as a part of the text messaging bundle included in the recipients phone service. If the recipient does not have a messaging plan or bundle, the SMS and MMS messages might be charged individually - that part is up to the carrier. Generally the language 'message and data rates may apply' is required (by the carriers) to be included in the messages, so that the recipient is alerted to the possibility of a charge. The vast majority of subscribers in the US have a text messaging plan, and so have no specific charge for message delivery. MMS do not count against the data plan, either, so there should be no charge for data usage when receiving MMS messages.
