I had a long-running battle with O2 over WAP-Push messages that THEY were sending me, not third parties.

Linked with the fact that my old phone was so p-poor, they crashed my phone every time.

I phoned them up everytime I got one and asked them to stop sending them.

Hillarious consequences ensued...including such famous lines as:

AG - Do you actually know what a WAP-Push message is?
02 - Well do you know everything about your job?
AG - Yes, that's why I do my job. Now how about doing yours and stoping these damn messages?

and

AG - Please stop sending these messages to me.
O2 - We don't send text messages to customers.
AG - <laughs uncontrollably>

and the best of all....

AG - Please stop sending these messages to me.
O2 - OK, you will not get anymore.

1 month later..... a WAP-Push message arrives (phone crashes)

But to answer the question, I don't think you can be charged for them unless you've signed up to receive the service.
