"I'm still looking for a solution for the situation when I'm trying to communicate without revealing my identity to the person I'm talking with."
This exists. In the past, it took the form of an "anon.penet.fi" email address. This was a very simple, useful service[1] that many people used to great advantage.
In modern times, you can see this very same concept used at craigslist wherein CL maps your email address to a random craigslist email address, allowing you and another party to have painless email back-and-forth without leaking identity.
Now that I am thinking about it, you could set up a simple SMS remailer with codes that would allow the same thing to happen.
None of this addresses secure comms, but that's not the question you asked ...
[1] A "remailer".

I forget the header/tech name for it, but if you hit reply and your email account is set to “First Last <email@domain.com>” it will pass along that entire string to the recipient in the body of the email. The obfuscation is only in the actual email address the message goes through
