> because otherwise turning on my phone will cost $2

What kind of insane operator charges you for turning on your phone?

Receiving an SMS while roaming is usually fee. Just turn off data and don't answer any calls.



>Receiving an SMS while roaming is usually fee.

No, it's not. Depends on the carrier though.


I just checked the past 5 SIM cards I've used from 5 different countries and they all had free incoming SMS while roaming. Seems to be a general rule. I guess there could be exceptions?


Hmm, could be talking about US carriers maybe?
