You can't do that, any more than you can connect from your home PC to my home PC. We're probably both behind NAT firewalls, with IP addresses that can't be used on the public internet.
Actually, my T-Mobile phone has a publicly-routeable IP, while my ATT does not. But the bottom line is, at the very least, you're going to need each individual carrier's active involvement to get incoming IP connections to your phone. It's just not a viable strategy, even if you were to succeed in some cases. You need a different strategy -- such as both phones establishing an outgoing connection to a common server, which routes the communications between them. You can use SMS push to trigger the phone to connect, so one side can still initiate the process -- but they'll need the phone number to do that. Note that you have the same problem via wifi, unless both happen to be on the same wifi network. Most Wifi networks are behind NAT firewalls, and you won't be able to get incoming connections from outside.
