Cheapest SMS over internet that shows own number?

Update: I've checked out the FishText service further and I'm quite impressed. Not only do they have great SMS rates (€.02/SMS to two of the more popular German networks, €.05 for others) but they have a java app for your phone that can sync with contacts you add online which is much easier than typing them in on your phone (a problem with the goText app). Also, if the recipient is also using FishText and is online when you send the SMS, the delivery is free of charge. Finally, you can receive delivery reports to verify the message was received for each message sent or only when the delivery fails (to save on data costs).

Received messages appear as coming from your mobile number, as I required, and no advertising since it's paid.

I'd still like to hear recommendations for other services if anyone has any.
