Well, I guess you could try Web2SMS if it supports your operator. And as far as I understand global AQ lite isn't actually free to anything else than other global AQ -numbers in which cases I would recommender something like Skype IM's.

I am successfully using Web2SMS using BiteSMS http://www.bitesms.com/) as the provider. Its not free but at under 10 cents an SMS it sure beats t-mobile or at&t charging 25 cents or more for an international text message!
So far I am loving web2sms and highly recommend it - no problems sending from the US to the UK...

is there an app to send global sms to a mobile number from your phone for free via internet connection for US users?

EDIT: Never mind, figured it out, it was pretty straightforward!

yea but that global aq sms app for the iphone/ipod touch charges $2.99 for 50 sms...the bite sms is pricier. Isn't there a way to crack this app and bring it onto maemo?
the iphone has the global AQ lite which is pretty slick, I couldn't find any such applications, anyone know of any? I hate having to use my ipod touch to get an sms across to my cousins in different parts of the world, I would much rather use the n900 if it's possible?
