Got a gtalk account? Add your sister as a contact on it, add her phone
number to the contact and enable the GMail labs feature to send sms through
gtalk. I think you can only do it via gmail UI, not xmpp or gtalk, but that
is a solution. You will even get a dedicated phone number she can add to her
phone book.
It's google, it's not perfect, but it works.
is your phone verizon?
