I have a friend's cell phone number in Manila and would like to send an sms using my computer. I have accounts with most of the popular IM programs, i.e., AOL, Yahoo, Talk, Windows Live Messenger, and ICQ.
Is there a way I can just enter my friend's cell number into one of these IM programs (or any other free program) and send an sms message? I would like the receipt of the message to be a surprise. Does my friend have to sign up on the same IM program, making receipt of a surprise sms message impossible, or can I just send it to a cell number, like here in the USA? Replies from people with actual experiences in sending sms messages to the Philippines would be appreciated.

I haven't been able to use AIM or Yahoo Messenger to txt a mobile w/ a Philippine carrier (Globe, Smart, Sun). The message would just bounce back.
I have been able to use Chikka, though, and, AFAIK, that person doesn't need to sign up to receive the txt.

Ok check what provider your friend has because most of the cellphones providers have webpages. You can send free sms from your computer to your friends cellphone. Im living in Germany at the moment and everytime I wanna talk to my family by the messenger I send them an sms message from Cingular's page. You can usually write a 100 letters. If not much but I helps. You can use the messenger too. But the good thing about the cellphone webpages is that you don't need an account with them. Hope it helps!!!
