Hello, In South-Africa it only works to send a message from a pc via email, to be received as sms on a cel phone, when entering the number in the username section of the email address, followed by the @ sign and the provider, but one can only enter the message in the subject field, not in the body.
Of course, if the person using the phone sets up his email on the cel phone, you could just use ordinary email from your pc and will receive the response as such, with the advantage that there's no limitation on the size, also it goes through as data, which is cheaper if one doesn't have a sms bundle included on one's monthly cel phone package. Also, with the skype beta, now available for third generation cel phones, it is said that the chat option is accessible via both Talks and Mobile speak. Thus you could use jaws on your pc to, via the skype chat function, send a chat (or instant message, as referred to in some skype versions) to any of your skype contacts in the world, and vice versa, to be read on their computers or cel phones.
