It's not nice that my mobile operator charges me 50 cents for any SMS that goes abroad, while using my internet voip account it costs me a couple of cents.
Moreover, some voip operators allow to send an SMS by a GET request with a URL that contains the account's credentials, the senders phone number and the message itself. See the section Using the VoipDiscount website:
http://www.voipdiscount.com/en/sms_instructions.html
So it is basically very easy to create a local HTML form that would allow to send an SMS from a phone through their service. But such a solution does not satisfy me because it's very inconvenient to type a senders phone number every time, while I already have him in my contacts. It would be perfect if I could simply reply on someone's SMS and it'd automatically go via the voip account.
If someone guides me I could try to develop such a thing myself since I am a software developer. I've had N900 for only few weeks and only yesterday installed the SDK, so I guess it would not go fast.
But from the other hand, I am quite motivated, because I don't like to be ripped off :)
