Do people have to pay to receive SMS messages in the USA?
LOL. We have to pay for EVERYTHING over here. We're the only industrialized nation that doesn't provide free basic healthcare to its citizens.

RE: SMS

"Data and messaging charges may apply."

You generally pay for inbound/outbound, though most cell providers offer packages that can include unlimited text messaging.

allow anyone to send a text message -- eg. "times" -- to us, that would auto-reply with our showtimes.
With the rise of mobile internet it would probably be better ensuring that you website works well on phone browsers

Google Voice gives you a real phone number with unlimited free texting within the US, but not MMS sadly, which they don't support. I used to have unlimited texting plan, but now I have the 200 for $5 plan, and I text with my google voice number. It's annoying and sometimes confusing for people to have two numbers to contact you at, but most were cool about it.
