Cellphone users with Bell and Telus are going to have to fork over a little more to receive incoming text messages under new pricing plans slated to roll out in August.
Under the new plans, customers will be charged 15 cents to receive incoming text messages, including uninvited spam messages. Previously, customers without text plans were only charged for outgoing messages.
Customers with a text messaging rate plan or bundle will not be affected by the new charges.
Bell's new pricing plan takes effect on Aug. 8, while Telus will begin charging customers for messages on Aug. 24.
Spokespeople for Bell and Telus were not immediately available for comment.

They have been doing this with the Fido prepaid service in Canada. 15¢ to receive a txt/send a txt. It used to be free.
