I think a client/server setup would be better than this. You could have a generic messaging program that attempts to contact the person using normal TCP/IP and fall back to SMS if that doesn't work. With this you can have proper public key encryption and message signing, and there is a guarantee of message delivery. It sucks that people pay mobile phone companies money on the hope that the message will be delivered!
