Hello I think this is a good idea for a module, but the fact is, this module is useful if can be integrated with the different newsletter modules for drupal. How to integrate this module with those newsletter modules?

At the moment this doesn't integrate with any of these.

The site for which it is being developed at the moment sends out SMS, and e-mail, to non-users who have subscribed to taxonomy terms and nodes - using the convenience of taxonomy and node reference fields that can be added to the subscriber entity. The messages are sent, and stored, with an additional feature - code of which will end up in this sandbox module.

Some of the newsletter modules do have sending to non-users, anonymous subscribers, so it may be possible to integrate this. But at this point I'm guessing that's more work than you'd want to do.

For example would be great if you can manage the suscribiers like managing content_types for example with simple news there are several limitations because you cannot manage Suscriber fields and the suscribe block only contains the email field, with this we can extend the Simplenews functionality and maybe applies for another newsletter modules...

Sure, I agree.

Scanning simplenews it looks like it might have enough functions for it to be possible to associate with something else, without actually hacking the module. Maybe adding the tid (as a field?) to a subscriber_entity unique by email address. But, even if it is as simple as that, as the newsletters aren't entities themselves none of that rolls out the box, so would all need writing.
