Does sending a SMS through Kannel gateway cost money?

Tags: Open Source, Kannel
If I were to successfully setup the Kannel open source WAP gateway, and send sms text messages to mobile phones, would I be charged money?

I'm just a little confused, as I see SDK's from various organizations to send SMS text from java, but some charge money to run the gateway per month.

Many of the gateways mentioned on these forums cost up to $2000 setup fees, and $1500 per month to operate.  That's not going to work for us.

Thus, my question about running a Kannel gateway and if there are costs associated with each text message.

Also, am I going to need to setup a computer with GMS modems attached to it to get a message out, or can I send my messages from Kannel directly to Sprint, etc... ?
