Good international SIM for SMS?

With incoming SMS being 15c and outgoing being 20c for international SMS, which international SIM do you recommend for someone that wants to just use the phone for SMS?

Most international sims do not charge for incoming sms but they have higher rates for outgoing. Um is 39 cents, travelsim is 35 cents, probably a manx sim is a bit less

AFAIK none of them charge for incoming SMS ('cause all of them are European based). Free incoming SMS both in home country and in roaming is rather a standard in the most of the world.

Look at mobile Java programs that send over wap/grps - 1 to about 8 cents each, plus data cost for about 1.5k, though someone has told me 3k (perhaps his messages are longer than mine)

Most of the global SIMs don't do data ...
