Send SMS messages to mobile phones from iChat

With today's release of AIM4.6b1.1131, the capability has been added to
allow AIM users to send SMS messages to mobile phones. All you do is type
the message you want to send as an SMS into a new IM window and change the
screenname field to +16175551212. Replace 6175551212 with the phone number
of the SMS-capable mobile phone. The "+1" is the country code, which is
required; however, I don't think AOL supports non-US numbers yet, but they
do plan to.

To utilize this cool feature in iChat, simply type Shift-Command-N for a
"New Chat with Person," and enter the phone number in the above format. When
you send the message, you'll receive confirmation from AOL that it was sent.
Pretty neat!
