Default international texts?

So what are the rates for international texting? I want to text someone in the uk...
I have an unlimited texting plan, so does this mean that incoming international texts are free to me? (Since I've heard they come out of your messaging bucket)

What about outgoing messages?

My device is work issued and they have disabled SMS and MMS (citing productivity concerns...) so I couldn't use my phone. I have a customer in Brazil and sent a SMS text to him from my girlfriend's 8330 on Sprint and she was charged 20 cents per message. She has a Simply Everything plan...

Check your plan because I believe texts to Canada and Mexico are sometimes included, but I doubt that would extend to the UK.

If you're in the US and SMS a non-US number, I'm pretty sure that T-Mobile charges $0.35. Not sure for receiving. When outside the US, every text you send or receive is $0.50, if I recall correctly. Another reason why PINs are so valuable.

When physically located in the US it's $.20/per message sent to an international number whether or not you have a bucket. Incoming are included in the bucket.

If you are roaming, meaning you are physically located in another country, it's $.35/per message sent, $.20/per message rec'd unless you have a bucket and then incoming is included.
