How to Send SMS From MSN
MSN Messenger, also known as Windows Live Messenger, not only can be used to chat online with friends by text, video or voice, but you can also send messages to your friends' cell phones. When you use MSN to send text messages, the person will receive it as a Short Message Service (SMS) message, which is simply a normal text message. When he responds to you from the message, you will receive it within the Messenger program.
