o2 call these "interactive services" and you get charged for a standard text (it doesnt come out of your freebies) plus whatever the cost of the service is. I imagine three do something similar.

put another way, expect texts which don't go to 'normal' mobile phones to be chargeable. Like all those going to shortcodes.
