I think the most common plans over here charge 10 cents a message (sometimes with the first 10 a month free). I've never heard of a charge as high as $1 a message. I think I'd ask if messaging could be turned off entirely so I didn't even receive texts if I was getting charged that much for them!

I don't pay for it, so I don't really know how much it costs. I could be wrong.
