Do you get charged for _receiving_ texts when traveling internationally? Maybe it's different here in Europe, but as far as I know, I only get charged for active things - sending texts, making calls, accepting calls. Passive things - receiving texts, getting calls (but not accepting them) - do not incur any charges.
It depends on the telco. I have a telco that requires me to have an active roaming plan to receive SMS/calls. Which is about $5 a day from memory (I don’t use it overseas). Another telco has no requirements and no charge to receive SMS/calls overseas as long as the number is active.
