i have looked for the ans to both questions on

Yes, it will cost her if you send her an SMS. You get to pay for the fee normally, and she gets to pay whatever the foreign operators chooses to charge. Nic of them, isn't it?
And yes, a dual band phone should definitely work on Corfu. Tri Band is needed for GSM 1900 networks in the US and parts of Asia.

so if it costs her 50p to send me a sms from corfu does that mean it costs her 40p to recive 1 off me as i pay 10p.

F*ck no!
I worked in Spain 4 years ago (OK, 4 years ago, but the principle still exists) and I paid about £1 per SMS sent/received! (You'll just pay the normal fee for sending, while your missus will pay whatever the operator wants to charge!)
I had big gripes with Voda and CPW at the time since they wouldn't tell me what the Spanish telecoms co.s were likely to charge me.
