Once upon a time T-Mobile had free incoming but has since done away with that feature. T-Mobile may have some of the better messaging packages yet at the same time they leave customer without the option of stopping text. If you call T-Mobile CS they will say if they turn off text then they can't message you either. That is complete BS. T-Mobile may not have the system setup to prevent outside message and yet allow their messages but that doesn't mean it can't be done.
