Hi countryfree,
We charge no fees to use our SMS service and we pay all transaction fees, except for Locks transactions for which the standard spread of 1.5% is applied (yes, you can Lock by txt)

However, your mobile phone provider may charge you standard txt msg rates, depending on your contract.
Our SMS service is currently operating from Canada. Therefore, within Canada the service will be treated as a local txt message rate. Elsewhere it will require international text messaging fees, which you will need to check your mobile phone provider for.
For this reason we are working hard to add local phone numbers in a number of markets.

Coming very soon: England, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden.

I hope this helps and thank you for considering our service.

As someone who uses Bitcoin for that purpose often, I cannot imagine a world where I would be going through a bank or other service that charges me a lot of money.

I am still not sure how my co-workers get euros. The only time I asked when I arrived I got a lot of grumbling and complaints about exchange rates.
