How to Send a Free SMS From Widgets

Modern Mac computers come with a dashboard, a program that runs a series of mini applications, called widgets, that allows users to perform small tasks. Macs come with a weather widget and a calculator widget, but more widgets are available for download. Some widgets allow users to send free SMS, or text, messages to cell phones from their computer.
