No. Receiving texts is always free anywhere in the world.

Are you sure about that? 

AFAIK, sending is not free.  It will cost 60 cent per text SMS.

Unless you are unfortunately enough to be in the USA, whereas the first SMS text you send will cost you $10.   Although you can send the next 99 text for free!
