Yep, I'm in the UK here so everything is in British pence.

Clickatell charge 3p a message.  Most mobile providers will charge between
5-10p a message although many have recently started offering free text
messages as part of a contract.  For example, take out a 12 month contract
and get 500 free messages a month + 300 minutes to any other network for
approx 20 pounds sterling.
