Does it cost money to receive text messages abroad?

In some countries, receiving ordinary short messages is free. However, it should be noted that in foreign countries, receiving multimedia messages, mobile phone newspapers and serving multimedia messages all need to pay data traffic fees. Therefore, it is suggested that if there is no special need, turn off the function of receiving MMS before going abroad.

1. Short Message Service (SMS for short) refers to the text or digital information directly sent or received by users through mobile phones or other telecommunication terminals. The number of characters that users can send and receive SMS at a time is 160 English or numeric characters or 70 Chinese characters.

2. The inventor of short message is Finnish. Because the Nordic people have more subtle feelings and don't like to express them by phone, they invented short message on a whim. Some people on the Internet say that the inventor of SMS is Marty Cooper, an American who works for Motorola, but he invented the mobile phone, not SMS.
