How to send SMS from Gmail.

Now Google users can send SMS to their contacts’ mobile phones using Gmail Chat. It can be done in Gmail by following steps:

1. Enter your contact’s name in the ‘Search, chat, or SMS’ box in Chat, and select Send SMS from the box of options that appears to the right of your contact’s name. Or, if you already have a Chat window open for this contact, just click More, and select Send Text (SMS).

2. In the dialog box, enter a phone number in the ‘Send SMS messages to this number’ field. This feature is only launched in selected countries. Click here for the list of supported countries and operators. If you are not located in one of these countries you can still use it, but you won't see the SMS option in Chat until you enable it manually in the Chat settings page.

3. Click Save.

4. A Chat window appears. Just type your message as you would normally. When you hit Enter, the message will be sent to the phone number you entered.
