Its not going to kill the SMS. However, its going to impact operators revenue. SMS has been the cash cow to operators for a longtime now. The cost for sending/receiving SMS is almost zero except for the network maintenance cost. So this will definitely impact operators revenue. Mobile VoIP didn't kill circuit switch calls, but did dent operators voice revenue especially international calls.
