Good idea.

I can't believe that so many carriers charge for incoming messages.  It's 
very unfair to the recipient of the message.  What if you get a message 
because somebody entered a wrong phone number?  When a message is sent to a 
phone, it's always delivered, right?  The recipient can't decide not to 
accept it, like they might decide not to answer a voice call, right?

I'm sorry, I'm getting a bit off-topic for this mailing list.
