Is the tariff when sending a message to a shortcode the normal SMS tariff?

Everybody sending a message pays 1 text message from his/her messaging packed. You can choose to let your audience send a text to a shortcode (normally a 4 or 5 digit number) or a 10 digit number. The shortcode applies only when subscribed to a wireless carrier from the same country from which the shortcode is from. Sending a message to a shortcode instead of a 10 digit number can have extra costs per text message. This depends on the mobile carrier.
