I also notice I'm being charged for the SMS even if it doesn't go through. A support request on this issue got me a reply that said they credit back to my account if an SMS doesn't go through, but it can take up to 24 hours. I haven't actually checked this but I'm curious if it actually happens as they state.

Anyone share their experience or tip on getting these through?

In october I tried sending two sms, never received, to a french mobile in order to keep my card valid and after few days I've been credited back.
So I can confirm you their commercial correctness!
