This is unreal! How can you charge people for incoming messages? Who's to say these companies won't have a guy hiding in a back corner office sending text messages to random people... making BELL and TELUS a whack of money!? At 15 cents a message... this will get expensive. Poor Taste?

We should all sent SPAM messages to Bell/telus management and see how they can afford the bill. SPAM attack = $$ attack in Canada after August...

This is by far the stupidest policy I have ever heard of. We're going into a recession...They have what is basically an essential service and they decide to try to screw their customers more? They better be sending some of that skrilla back into the economy.

Are you kidding me. We are being so ripped off by these communications companies who hide under the Federal Government's protection and restrict the competition that would reduce rates. Call you MP as well as protest to the CRTC and Bell, Telus, and Rogers Three rougues to be sure.

I read.. Canada sends about 4 500 0000 texts a day.So do the math, 4 500 000 x .15 = 675 000 x 365 = $246 375 000 That's $ 246 375 000 for Bell and Telus (But not exactly, due to the fact of multiple carriers, but go with it) Think of all the other things in Canada that 246 million dollars every year could do!

You will only pay for incoming if you do not have a sms package. With any sms package you get unlimited incoming.

This could be the plan. To have a computer randomly sending text messages to us is like a slot machine, but we can't walk away or stop them. We need deregulation in the telecommunication industry and give us some serious competition.
