Im sure it's iPod Touch compatible also. But failing that, i'd just email, its just as easy and its free.

Thats great but she doesnt always have access to a PC. I just need an app from my iPhone to a cheap basic phone via text message
FishText!
My vote would be for FishText (http://fishtext.com/), lets you text any number in the world for pennies - I believe its either 1.3p or 2p per text depending on which network in Australia you're texting.
Here's a link to the app http://linktoapp.com/fishtext

Does this show that it comes from your number??? (when the other party receives it)
I believe you get the choice to either use your existing mobile number or to have a new one generated by FishText (for privacy reasons I guess)
Facebook.
Facebook have an SMS service that you can subscribe to. Once registered to the SMS notifications whenever you get a comment or message from FB they text it to your phone.
It might be worth a shot, its free for users to recieve SMS updates and all you do is send the message via the facebook website or iPhone application and FB send that message in a SMS message to the recipient

O2
My girlfriend was recently in Aus and New Zealand. I added a family bolt on for £7.50 which give me free texts to her. (It's only meant to work in the uk) Also she noticed while away backpacking if she sent exactly 160 characters i.e 1 text message not one digit short or longer she never got charged. She was there for 3 months and I think the only thing we paid for was the family bolt on.
Might be of some use for you. Could have been a lot more expensive. also worked if grouping 2 or 3 msgs together but never go over the full characters for 2 or 3 texts consecutively then.
She was on o2 pay as you go with a non iphone phone
