Idea factory: Alternate SMS infrastructure

Tired of paying 10 to 20c per sms? Wonder how retarded it is that you still have to pay for SMS even with a data plan!! Here's the solution...SMS over Wi-fi/3G data connectiion. The idea is as follows

- User chooses recepient; chooses if message is urgent/not urgent

- Atl SMS client side app sends data to server which checks that both are registered with the service. 

- It then monitors to see if a Wi-fi connection is avbl. If not, it checks whether a 3G data connection is avbl (this can be disabled if you don't want to use 3D data plan at all).

- If avbl, it sends the SMS to recepient and the client app at the other end confirms receipt of message! So you are sure your SMS went through

- If not avbl, and you chose urgent, it will send the message using the cellphone providers SMS service. If you chose not urgent, it will hold the message in outbox until some data network is available

Guess who thinks this is'nt an awesome idea..the mobile service providers of course, since this will strangle their juicy revenue stream. Well screw them! Power to the people :)
