>And what is the point of sending text messages >to someone elses phone when you could just call them?
Sending SMS is not meant to replace phone calls, but there are situations when sending a SMS is more desirable. Such as you need to get a message to a person who is in a meeting and can't take phone calls. Cost is also a factor here. Outside of US, the charge for a SMS is a fraction of a phone call. In US, we get hit by both originating charges and terminating charges, which is one of the reason it hasn't grown as popular as in Asia or Europe.
