No, the SMS transport and gateway together only allows you to send SMS 
messages. You are not able to receive SMS message with it.

Here's an extract from the article about the pricing,
"The SMS gateway allows you to send SMS messages to over 100 countries 
and 450 mobile networks (see 
http://www.aspsms.com/supportednetworks.asp). Each normal text SMS 
message will only cost around 7.5 cents (US) for all countries. There is 
no setup fee. However, you would need to a buy a volume of SMS credits 
before you can send an SMS."

Is your Jabber SMS gateway available for public use? How can we use it?

Thanks.
