SMS is convent, but won't scale as it is. It's fine when you get 1 or 2 a day, but I'm starting to get a dozen. What happens when you have dozenS of messaging coming in and no way to sort, file, etc? Also, SMS is very bad at telling you who sent the message. How many times have you gotten an text from a number that's not in your phone book.
Someone needs to create an alternative. Maybe it can be done on top of twitter.
"Twitter is not public infrastructure" as one of the posts linked to on here yesterday pointed out. Building it into next-gen mobile messaging is a terrible idea.
Some sort of open standard based on microblogging might be an idea, though.
