@sophitechnicusñ remember that PM is an entirely prepaid service. You get exactly what services you select and pay for, nothing more and nothing less. If you need to be able to receive texts, you would need to select the text feature as part of your plan.
Another possible workaround: if you only want to receive text messages and either have data as part of your plan or have frequent access to WiFi networks, you could download the Fongo app (for iPhone or for Android phones). It will give you free incoming unlimited text messages, albeit not at your normal PM phone number, you'd have a separate Fongo number on which you can recieve texts. If you want to be able to reply/send texts, I believe they also offer that feature for a small fee, around $3 or so a month if I remember correctly.
