Hi! If you didn't have your Norwegian sim card in your phone though, you wouldn't be able to receive it. Also some people don't have a local sim card (eg. I travel around Asia, no sim from Australia) and those that do may have to pay global roaming charges to receive SMSes. I should probably explain the need for it a bit better. Thanks for checking it out :)

Yeah, might be good to explain the reasoning. Coming from the UK, I've never heard of pricing to receive a message, we just don't have it, and I believe it's actually banned, as the user doesn't have the choice in receiving a message (unlike a call which they can just not answer).
