If you are on wifi, it is totally free. If you are on cellular data, it would count against your data plan but I would suspect that its usage is extremely minimal.

Data (on cellular data) or free on wifi.
Not SMS.

Thanks for the replies.
I realize it probably uses very little data, but I have unlimited SMS and was hoping it billed towards that. Not a big deal for me, but my son and his girlfriend are always texting and both have iPhones. I'll just keep an eye on his data usage for a month or so.

The average message is less than 256 bytes. You could send/receive 4 thousand messages in 1MB of data, or 800,000 in 200MB. It's really a very small amount of data.
