When you send the text message from the site it will not go towards your messaging plan. It's free on your end. The person receiving the message will be billed for each text. Not sure about the replying back.

Re: Text address different than cell number?

Your "address" for text messages via email (since they will be sending an email effectively, you will receive it as a text message on your phone) is your-10-digit-number@vtext.com for Verizon numbers. You can also use your-10-digit-number@vzwpix.com which works for pictures and enhanced messages, if the vtext address doesn't work.

Other carriers have different "addresses" -you can use these to send an email from your computer and it will arrive as a text message on that person's phone.
