All of the linked XMPP-phonenetwork bridging services appear to be United States + Canada only, so I have no hope of trying or testing this software.
The best I have in my country (Australia) are SIP providers. They generally only offer landline numbers; I think some might offer mobile numbers but I have not tried those services (they cost more and I suspect texting won't work anyway).
Nonetheless some simple self-hosted SIP-XMPP bridge software would be amazing. We'd also need XMPP clients that understand this, however, otherwise using existing tel://xxx address books would be fiddly (you would have to manually retype them to be an XMPP address).
N.B. SIP clients on phones seem to be a bit slow and unreliable. I use one daily nonetheless, along with Snikket (conversations), which also has its fair share of issues on different people's phones.
