Cheapest sms with an international sim card?

Back before I stupidly let my Wind SIM die , one technique I would use to keep it active would be to check my smsBug balance. This used just a few bytes and the charge was only about 1ct or 2ct.

Virgin UK has hardly any coverage in South America, 02 UK is a lot better in that matter, but I'm not sure whether they provide data service as well. Telfort NL for example has roaming in most of those South American countries, but doesn't do data in those countries. I just mailed 02 customer service. I still not sure if they charge in 1kB increments with pay as you go either. I just downloaded mobisms to my phone over GPRS, but mobisms can't connect with the server packetinfo or something is failing

mobisms filesize of sms should be less than 600 bytes. so that would be 1 kB.
