unless you use a gsm modem, a device connected over usb or seriel line, or and SMS gateway/aggregator...there is no way to send SMS for free, a lot of carriers (TMobile) have a page, where you can SMS an user, but I am sure they would catch on, if you started manipulating there page to send SMS messages. Also, none of the free, SMS sending sites, allow you to specify a port to send SMS to, which is a req. for us. SMS is expensive, very expensive, but this is just do to carriers wanting to "gank" there customers for every cent they can! I dont know about the Messaging (chat), but one of the guys, may get back to you...could you just reimplement the Jabber, and figure out how to plug into/interface with JBCS?
