1 of 1 people found this helpfulIn the days of yore, it was always both incoming and outgoing messages.
Just like your minutes used are incoming and outgoing minutes. You don't find it weird to pay for incoming calls, right?
I understand you can't control your incoming texts. The "control" you had for incoming calls to avoid hitting minutes was to not answer them. But, alas, all text messages are counted either direction, and a PAYG account can be depleted quickly if you forget your Slack credentials and they decide to send you six different two-factor authentication codes (this incident actually happened to me today, and I can imagine frustration if I lost sixty cents out of my account).

It is worth mentioning that their are very cheap plans out there should this be a concern that include unlimited sms usage. I have found them to be as low as $15 dollars a month in some cases. I mention this incase it was becoming a issue.

Ok, now it's more clear. For what I remembered when I used pay as you plan
in my home country, I was used to pay my sent messages. Only in case of
being abroad you had to pay also for receiving. Having said that, I can do
my evaluation about what to do.
Thanks to everyone.
