Do I need to pay fee if I would like to receive texts while abroad?

Here is my issue, I gonna return to Japan. And I need to receive international text since this Verizon number has linked to many of my 2FAs. And I would like to know whether there is a fee if I only need to receive international texts. Do I need to roam if I only want to receive international messages?
International messages meaning that I want to receive messages from US in Japan.

Hello Kevin! That's a great question. The fee depends on your plan. However, the most common is $.05 per received message, and $.25 picture message. However, you can use the Verizon Messages+ app, with Wi-Fi to send/receive messages for free. Please keep in mind that you need to keep the phone in Airplane Mode to avoid any charges.
