I enabled sms receive on my diamond card phone, which I call my "bat phone." So when I send a text the reply shows in my email and on the diamondcard site. But it doesn't show in the ekiga text window, probably because that number must be a mobile (cell) number and I don't think the phone numbers diamondcard gives out qualify as cell phone numbers.
Anyway, its pretty cool. I can receive and send text messages without having a cellphone. Thanks to all for your help.
