    Which carrier are you using your cellphone on?

    Usually, you can send SMS message from your computer through your email.

    E.g emailing [email protected] will send sms message to my cellphone

    I never heard of that, but my sons phone is on T-Mobile and I'm on AT&T , we both have hotmail accounts and gmail , I'm limited to 200 messages a month and he has unlimited so I use to send messages thru my windows msn to him when i'm home so I don't go over my limit

    Hmm If his phone is set up for msn mobile or what ever, you should be able to send messages to him no matter what client you use.

    well I have microsoft messenger Mac Addition and it doesn't give me that option( sending messages to a mobile phone ) I'm guessing microsoft don't allow that with a Mac OS , I surely was able to do it on a windows base OS
