Wow, guess I got it easier here then.

In Brazil it is illegal to charge for incoming messages you didn't ask for officially (like those games and stuff). Brazilian consumer law states that one event cannot generate two different charges (i. e. you cannot charge twice for the same message), and honestly, paying to receive messages is just absurd. It's like paying to send a package through fedex and fedex charging the person who gets it as well.

They don't do it there do they?

Just out of curiosity, sjgadsby, where do you live?
