<div dir="ltr">Hey,<br>ICQ currently does not run on most carriers anymore. They terminated nearly all agreements with carriers.

So not only check your bill carefully, but before you start sending<br>
lots of free SMSs, make sure it does not cost you to receive them.<br>

In Israel, you *do not* pay for incoming SMSs - it is the sender that<br>
pays for them.<br>

Sorry, that's wrong. Until recently you paid for incoming SMSs too. There was a big stink about it a few years ago because people with kosher cell phones were still charged for them, although they were never delivered.<br>
<br>
If you had a plan from before then you were charged. I found that out the hard (expensive) way.<br>
<br>
Since we sent and received less than 10 SMSs a month, it never occurred to me to change the plan and I forgot about it until my son started dating a girl with no internet coverage at home. After we put a stop to their calling, they sent hundreds of SMSs through a free site.<br>
<br>
It wasn't until a month later that I was reminded of the plan we had.<br>
<br>
They are no longer dating, and his new girlfriend has internet at home, and my son has an "all you can eat" airtime and SMS plan now.<div class="im HOEnZb"><br>
