Illustration – Send SMS Text Message from Yahoo! Messenger
To send SMS from Yahoo messenger download the latest version of Yahoo! Messenger and follow the steps given below.
1. Open Yahoo Messenger window. In the menu, go to Actions -> Send an SMS Message…
2. You can select an existing contact with a mobile number from My Contacts tab
3. Otherwise you can type in the mobile phone number in Other Contact tab. The number should be typed in International Telephone number format. That is, start with a + followed by country code, area code if any, and cell phone number. In India, it would be +91 followed by 10 digit mobile number.
4. You get a new SMS window, just like your regular Yahoo chat window. Type in your message, not more than 143 characters and hit Send. You can send the message from any of your Yahoo profile identity.
In order to continue the conversation your friend need to reply to the message from his cell phone.

yahoo sms is good when you aren’t blocked… receiver of sms should not have to reply in order to continue receiving sms from someone. I send sms to my son every day… he doesn’t answer them.. but enjoys getting them a lot and after 3 messages, yahoo blocks you from sending… NO ONE SHOULD BLOCK A TEXT MESSAGE BUT THE RECEIVER OF THAT MESSAGE… I wish yahoo would STOP blocking messages to a user..

Hi , I did exactly what was mentioned here and some other sites and exchanged about 30 sms’s in 15days from my friends. I have a BSNL internet connection at home (Wireless set up also) and my telephone bill for the month was 5700/- . Could anyone tell me is this because of the sms’s that i sent ? My bill shows all the cell numbers that I used for this purpose.
I guess there is also a certain limit on the video downloads and stuff…i watched a few (infact very few) videos online (3mins each at max. )
PS: I reside in Hyd, India and sent SMS’s to friends in Hyd who have Airtel mobiles.
Thanks,
Aparna

Whenever i try this i get a msg like “Yahoo! Messenger cannot send SMS messages to this mobile number: (the number) Find out why” If you know why this is happening can u plz let me know?
i am not having any prob. in sending sms…its working very fine… but afraid of later charges…
Hi, you have to type +91 before the number… However, it will not accept similar if I am sending to the UK. (+44) 07944..
Ravi,
I did add the + sign b4 the phone number. i got the error message.
gooooooood
For people who are getting the error
“Yahoo! Messenger cannot send SMS messages to this mobile number: (the number)*. Find out why”
You must have forgotten to put the + sign in the beginning of the country code. + allows international dialing, so you need this. Anyway, just add the + sign and try it.
bye
Ravi
