At least in the US, you can send an SMS via e-mail for free (of course, you do need to know what carrier they use). Either this is not the case elsewhere, or this is just not a well thought out service. A more useful feature would be if you could receive SMS via SkypeIn.</p> Why would you want to send an SMS from Skype?
