Default SMS over WiFi

I am creating an app for the iphone and ipod touch and I would like a piece of it send a text message via wifi. I have seen some apps around like Textfree that seem to have this functionality so I think it can be done. I thought I might need to use some web based app like Google Voice but I can't find examples on how to access them. Can anyone help?

the short answer is: you can but you need a server to do the actual sending of the SMS, a little bit like you can go to Yahoo or Googel and send SMS.

SMS on your iphone app ---> to your server ---> to phone

Web20 - Thanks for the reply.
This was the model I was expecting to follow with this part of the app. I was hoping there were some APIs, xml calls, or something similar out there for something like a Google Voice but I haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know if it is available?
