So even if they offer both bundled data messaging service and CTU messaging at the same price, they stand to make more money with bundled data messaging because of the lower cost of infrastructure.

It would be hard to put applications on those handsets. Hehe. Roger, i thought SMS* was the same as SMS. ops! Hehehe. But, in anycase, an application still has to be installed. That is still a barrier to entry since most of the population are not capable of installing software. Saichi, True CTU handsets are typically low end.

The same findings by mobile operators in other regions. SMS* didn't use SMS, but uses the native Inbox of the SMS. You can send default SMS if the recipient doesn't have SMS* installed. well, what we found out that if the subscribers wanted to use an application, they will look/search and download it into their mobile phone.

However, commercially, you will encounter problems considering the local CTU (Call and Text Unlimited) offered by telcos that offers the same service at a fixed price as well. As you mentioned, there is also the issue of usability, with CTU there is little to no change when it comes to UI. However, I do acknowledge that CTU only works if sender and receiver are on the same network and to me this is the only weakness that these applications can exploit locally.

The issue here is that people just don't like installing an additional client on their phones. Besides, most people are not capable of this. Did you use SMS? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of an SMS-bypass ;-) Yup obvious solution would be to use XMPP on both ends.
