As many of the users here are States side, would you think a similar system
would work well over there?

SMS is just getting started in the US. But it is in its infancy, and for
example the phone companies never got SMS traffic between different phone
companies working so they now have Verisign (yes, the same) as
intermediate.

You may want to check the telecom digest (a real old-fashioned mailing list
) on this subject. Loads of knowledge about US and other countries
telecom there. http://telecom-digest.org/ to get started and search
archives.
