How to SMS Message Using Skype

1. Open the Skype program and sign into your account.
2. Right-click on the contact to whom you wish to send an SMS message in Skype's left panel and then click 'Send SMS Message.' This works only if this contact includes an SMS-enabled number.
3. Type your desired SMS message into the field at the bottom of the main portion of Skype's screen. As you do this, notice the 'characters remaining' counting down from 160. If this number reaches 0, the '1 SMS' section will change to '2 SMS' to reflect the fact that your message will arrive in two pieces.
4. Click 'Send SMS' when you are done writing your message. This sends your SMS text to the number you selected.
