iPhone with iChat

Brought to you by: James

If you know someone who can receive SMS messages on their mobile phone, then it’s easy-as-pie to send an SMS message to them using iChat.

First, Go to File/New Chat With Person. Then, in the field presented, enter +1 followed by the phone number (with area code). For example, you may want to enter “+15556226372″ for (555) MAC-MERC. If you were successful, you will be greeted by this kind message:

“Your IM has been sent to my mobile device. When I receive it, I will be able to reply. Thanks for your IM! Want your IMs forwarded to your phone? Click here.”
