I live in Canada (Ontario) and have never heard of any plan doing something like this. I am on prepaid myself and have unlimited texting.

That sounds very generous for a pre-paid plan. Is it unlimited for all incoming phone numbers or do you choose specific phone numbers?

I've seen plans that you choose friends or pay more but in some way you are paying more for the free part a bit like insurance. Maybe plans with unlimited texting versus regular plans are more common so the extra cost is seen as normal?

Hopefully it's changing or maybe texting is becoming less of a thing due to more mobile Internet access.
