Hello Bhupi,
As far as I am aware, there should generally be no charge for incoming text messages -- even for the data-only plans. There is no way to prevent people from sending text messages to your device so it's not really fair to get charged for receiving them.
I said generally because if you subscribed to a text message service, there would be a charge for receiving those messages. The charge would not be for receiving the messages per se, but rather for the service itself.
What charges are you seeing on your bill?

Also, could you please clarify what you mean by that statement?
Hope this helps

Hey Bhupi!
Cawtau is right, we do not charge for incoming text messages.
Have you downloaded your full detailed bill from My Account? Could you provide us more details about what the charges are listed as being for on your bill?
Let us know!
Hello again,
I'm glad you were able to get your additional charges sorted out.

The data-only plans do not include any call minutes or SMS/MMS. However, since the SIM has a phone number associated with it, they are capable of making/receiving calls and sending/receiving text messages.
The rates are $1 per minute for calls and Long Distance (LD) at 45¢ per minute within Canada (see here).
Sending SMS costs 25¢ per message sent from Canada to a Canadian wireless number or 45¢ per message sent from Canada to a US or international wireless carrier (see here). You will not incur any extra charges when you receive text messages.
Sending MMS to a Canadian wireless customer costs 50¢, while to a US or International wireless customer cost 75¢ (see here). Again, you will not incur any extra charges when receiving MMS while in Canada. Note however, roaming data charges would apply when outside of Canada.
What text message(s) are you unable to receive? Are they verification text messages or messages from other phones/devices? Have you tried to send yourself a message from a different device? Have you tried to send a message from the device? I understand there is an additional charge for sending SMS/MMS from the device, but it may help troubleshoot your issue.
Since you recently changed phone numbers, have you verified the phone number on your device? You should be able to do so under the device's Status.
Have you verified there are no blocks placed on your account?
Hope this helps

Hello again,
What device are you using? Have you tried the SIM in a different phone/device? Are you having the same issue everywhere? Are you able to use data at your location? To what network is your device connected (LTE, UMTS, GSM)? If it's connected to LTE, have you tried to disable LTE?
If you're using a phone, are you using its messaging app or a different one?
Do you also have another phone with Fido? If you do, are you able to make/receive calls and/or send/receive SMS/MMS with that phone at your location?
Hope this helps
Cheers
Hello again,
Have you verified the SMS message centre or short message service centre (SMSC) number is correct? It should be +1-514-993-1123. You should be able to do so under your messaging app's settings.
Hope this helps
Cheers
