Abstract
Methods and systems for providing alternate SMS/MMS traffic to a user using alternate wireless and network service. Aspects of the disclosed systems and methods allow existing wireless customers to continue using their normal wireless phone and phone number for SMS/MMS traffic while still easily avoiding large roaming and texting charges, all while nearly transparently maintaining the full range of normal wireless voice, text, and SMS/MMS services.
