Yes, and it's fairly cheap too. If you want a solution that's almost as easy, but doesn't require any non-free software check out Ekiga[1]. It's a nice SIP client with support for SMS that should work with most providers. I've used it with Diamondcard[2] and it worked great. They also have a free SIP service on ekiga.net for SIP => SIP calls, which means you don't have to mess with your firewall.
