cheapest, safest way to text Norway

My friend in Norway keeps texting me and as a Vodafone contract customer it's a whopping 25p to reply. He pays 1p a text to the UK and their roaming rates are only 3p a minute for calls so doesn't understand the problem (their mobile rates are extraordinarily cheap compared to here; he doesn't have a landline!).

I need a cheap and reliable and safe way to text Norwegian mobiles. I don't want any nasty surprises on my Vodafone bill from undeclared costs like connection charges etc. I can't always text via the internet - I googled and saw that that is an option. The other is 1899 but how does it work and are there hidden Voda charges or add ons I must be careful of?
My life's motto based on experience is Murphy's Law :eek: :D

    It could be possible for your friend to get you a norwiegen pay as you go sim card.

    I have been trying to translate some of norways mobile companies tarrifs but I have not been sucessful yet.
    The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.
