I'd just like to be able to receive texts to my regular number when in WiFi range but no mobile signal... Any idea how that could be achieved?

Update: Ok tried it but it says the user on the other end will be charged for the message is that true??

It would be exactly like P2P but with a maze of obstacles in the middle e.g. routing protocols and also different encapsulations to figure out such as the SMS protocol and to wrap that in IP or visa versa.
I might be wrong on this I'm just going by what I know personally be nice if anyone else had an idea on the matter.

I have the texts delivered to my email, which in turn is delivered to my phone. That keeps the process all free. Then I can respond using Google Voice via the browser.

I reside in Canada and SMSenger has worked for me (both in Can and US). I haven't had any problems and neither have my friends (who are with different carriers). My biggest hangup was the inability to reply but they've fixed it in an upgrade and works great in the latest version.
Add: confirmed, Google Voice is currently available in the US only.

As you mentioned WebTexter was started mainly for Irish mobiles but also supports betamax providers which will give cheap but not free sms.
I gave a quick look at the one's you mentioned but couldn't find info on what I'd need to integrate SMSenger to webtexter. For freetext they use a captha seems to need javascript to work so would be awkward to integrate to webtexter. If anyone has information on the http transaction needed to send to them I could possibly integrate them.

I've seen two for the iphone "SMSenger" and "freetext" just wondering is there one out I can get here. Hate the charges for sending messages, I'm trying to get everything down to data so I can get a cheap data plan and be done with all this other crap!
