I asked an Att rep and she said they did. However I recieved 2 txt messages from Switzerland and sent one back. When I check my usage it shows I have one extra charge for one message.
Got a tip for us?

Does Att charge for international text recieved?

They didn't charge me for received when I was in the DR, only the ones I sent. They have a fairly comprehensive international/travel website.
They don't charge if you receive it, but will charge when you send it, and it is a separate charge from the normal ones you get with any text messaging plan.
I racked up a good $50 charge from sending some back and forth between myself and friends in Australia. So be weary on that; you may find sending it over Skype/BeeJive/IM+ a lot easier and cheaper.

It looks like AT&T is no longer charging to receive SMS while roaming internationally. Of course its 50 cents for every SMS sent while roaming. This has taken place in the last couple of years because I have racked up some serious bills in yrs past.
It's been like that for at least a year if not longer.
Receiving while roaming will cost you what it would cost you in the US. 20 cents if you have no text plan. Deduct from your bucket if you have X messages per month, or nothing if you have unlimited messages. Too bad receiving phone calls while roaming doesn't work that way.
