Gmail Adds SMS Chat Function

Google Labs has added new functionality that will allow users to send text messages through Gmail’s chat feature. Just add your friends’ phone numbers, and Gmail will give you the option to text them when they show up as offline. Of course, you could always just use your phone, but this is way cooler.

  • This feature will be down for about two weeks, but there's another way to send SMS through gmail. If you log into AIM through Google Talk, then send an instant message to +1, then the area code, then the seven-digit phone number, it will send as a text message.
