		<description>Looks like Teleflip is no longer working... the problem with an app like this is that it requires a server with bandwidth, and that has to be paid for somehow. If people wouldn&#039;t mind ads appended to their text messages (and would actually pay attention to them enough that the advertisers would pay for it), it could be viable...</description>

		<description>That said, once I get a Mac maybe I will try making an app like this (I am a software engineer).</description>

		<description>It would get pulled from the App Store, just like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.betanews.com/article/Apple_pulls_iPhone_broadband_sharing_tool_from_App_Store/1217609076&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the tethering app was in the US&lt;/a&gt; (but not in other countries where carriers don&#039;t care whether you use your iPhone as a wireless modem for your laptop). They can also blacklist the app so it won&#039;t work even if it slips through and a few people get it. Our best bet as far as this goes is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.betanews.com/article/Senate_antitrust_chief_demands_answers_on_US_text_messaging_prices/1221246108&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;if they get pegged with antitrust violations&lt;/a&gt; over text message prices.</description>

		<description>Great idea. I have unlimited texting on my iPhone 3G plan and it makes me feel -- let&#039;s say -- violated. I know about teleflip and other workarounds but my gratuitous caffeine-intake says they are too frustrating. I have friends with cellular devices from the dark ages(they might as well carry around stone tablets), also, so AIM and email are out of the question.

Anywho, this sounds like an easy job for anyone with knowledge of Objective-C. Unfortunately, my coding skills are very crude at the moment, but if someone were to develop this, I would gladly jump on the bandwagon. This app would look increasingly good as Apple&#039;s support of third-party PUSH approaches.

Oh, and don&#039;t get me started on undeveloped product ideas. Many-a-time have I thought about taking my grant money to begin producing; I&#039;ve reasoned to wait until I&#039;m more educated though and, therefore, better able to execute them. I just hope my entrepreneurial spirit doesn&#039;t mature and die.</description>

		<description>@mileslocman Teleflip is awesome. I wish they would make an iPhone app.

@Barry Awesome article. Maybe NASA should go into the telecom business. That could offset the costs of our next Mars lander.</description>

		<description>Text messaging is the biggest ripoff in the industry.  Instead of a workaround, it should just be included free with your phone or data plan. For the amount of data you send/receive to view a simple web page, you could have sent/received 100 text messages. It makes no sense. Here&#039;s more:
