Author Text-messaging app

Anyone know of / written a simple phone-to-phone text messaging app?

I think I could write something like this but I'm hung up (pardon the
pun) on one issue... how to identify the phone to send to.

In our environment we have one user assigned several phones. Or one DN
as a shared line on many phones. The only unique identifier is MAC
address, which is not end-user-friendly.

Just putting this out there for people's thoughts.

Check www.phonetop.com for PhoneTop Messenger. It lends you send
pre-defined messages from one phone to one or more phones.

Also from a web interface. Demo available, easy to set up and use, not
too expensive. (disclaimer: my company writes it)

You could keep a private name-to-mac database (or just a simple text
file, depending on the size of the installation). "Private" in the
sense, that it is unrelated to the CCM. Of course, if you want to do
it nice, there might be synchronization features, so that you could
easily follow phone adds/removes, but a small site could get away by
even a hand-editing of the aforementioned list/database/something.

Do you keep the description field for phones populated with information
on what user the phone belongs to? If so, you could have your app poll
the devicelistx page in callmanager to get the full list of phones
(along with description, MAC, and IP address)
