vyke.co.uk do texting. You can text from their web site or intall an
application on your your mobile phone. I installed the Java version on
my 6230i and it works very well. Unlike some applications it uses the
existing phone memory contacts - so no need to program in contacts
again. Excluding any data charges (about 1K of data) the charge for
the text message is about 4c (Euros).
In the UK, if you text a landline number, the text is converted to
voice for the recipient. I just did a test. I sent a text from O2 to a
voiptalk number. When answered it says 'This is a message from BT'
....it speaks the number it was texted from and the message.
a friend installed the Java version on his Samsung phojne but it
wasn't so user friendly for him. I get the feeling that it will
probably work better with Nokias that have phone memories.

Next, you do not have to use the same company for incoming and
outgoing calls. If your ATA doesn't cater for additional outgoing
providers then use voxalot.com on the Eu server to facilitate this.
If you don't have an ATA, other than a locked one supplied by Vonage,
then come back with your requirements and someone will advise you what
to get. Tariff wise you can easily do better than Vonage.

I can't advise on phone numbers for Ireland but doubtless someone
here will be able to help.
