Also take a look at Fishtext. Sending messages cost mostly about 1.5 or 2 UK pence each, and for sending ID you can either have it simulate your SIM phone number, so you'd receive replies via that, or get them to allocate their own dedicated non SIM number, so you can get replies online or in its application. But I wonder if this number range might have compatibility issues from some other countries - I don't know.

They issue extra long numbers which aren't fully compatible with all systems. They could cause problems.
