That depends on whether you have a messaging bundle on your plan or not. If you do, text messages you send and receive will be deducted from the number of messages included in your bundle. If you don't have a bundle, messages you send or receive will be billed at a per-message rate, ranging from $0.10 to $0.20.
Ask your carrier for specific details in your situation.

How is texting billed?
Each text is charged at a fixed rate. If you send long texts (more than 760 characters) - each 760 character block (or part) is charged separately. So, if you sent a text containing 1,000 characters, you'd be charged for two messages.
Are there any SMS plans available which have per character charge?
Veery unlikely. A SMS message is sent in 'blocks' of up to 160 characters - and are charged at the service-provider's 'standard' rate. Long messages (that are more than 160 characters) are charged in multiples of the standard text rate. For example - if text messages were charged at 10p - and your mesage went over 160 characters (but less than 320) - you would be charged 20p
