- message received by sms service (for local addressing)
- service uses message header (characters prior to ':') to do local routing
- message is sent to that xo

So this is sms -> jabber -> xo.  Do you also wish to implement xo ->
jabber -> sms?

You should investigate:

http://www.ejabberd.im/mod_sms
http://www.dp.uz.gov.ua/o.palij/mod_sms/

I am reading this very loosely and quickly, but it appears that this
ejabberd module can integrate ejabber with an sms->smtp transport
service located at (e.g.) sms.exampligratia.net in order to provide sms
functionality.
