There is also a nice feature that could be used with SMS: imagine that the SMS is automatically shortened (eg by abbreviating words and stuff like that) than it's compressed before being sent; I tried once and there should be libraries that could fit the "dictionary" needed for extraction + 500 characters in 302 chars... It means 2 SMS instead of 3 or more :)
