Their current limit is, as far as I know, 20 messages per day, but of course
it's trivial to get around by opening multiple accounts. The old limit was
100 messages in 7 days.

That's not true: Orange users get SMS service free with their standard
package, and can receive messages for free. Anyone can send messages to
Orange phones for free form the Internet, by using either Orange.co.il's
own website, or gosms.com's site. 20 ag/msg is the price of gosms.com's
(rather useless, in my view) email gateway to SMSs.
Sending an SMS form an orange phone costs 9 agorot per message, BTW, and it
can even be used to send email from your Orange phone! See gosms.com.
