I think it depends on the country and the service provider too, you may get charged per sms but if you use your Twitter account for professional or work, it wouldn’t be too much expensive for you as an sms cost is not as high as communication rate that is getting cheaper day after day!
PS: Pesonally, I don’t pay for SMS’s as I have a pack of free sms included with my suscription.
By the way you have a very nice blog 🙂
