What, pay for receiving messages? I have never seen that, not during roaming or even on IoT plans or completely free plans.

How does that even work? What if I spam you from a free sms gateway / unlimited sms plan?

AFAIK it resulted in huge bill for the receiver, though I have no idea if certain services weren't billed differently (wouldn't surprise me if you could send text messages that were billed only on sender side, for extra)
