Hi France's, the SMS feature in Skype sends regular SMS messages to mobile phones. It's just quicker because you can do it from your computer keyboard. You need Skype credit to use this function. Note that there is a setting in the options dialogue that allows you to define your mobile number if you have one, so that the SMS appears to come from your mobile phone and can be replied to it. Cheers, J PR

I read something about it a while back. Does one pay for sending these messages and is it something like twitter? E-mails are what I send so if any Skype people use MSM, please give me a short tutorial. One more thing. I made three phone calls today and was asked to give my mobile number. Ias there a reason for this?
