Google recently added a new feature in their Gmail service that will let you send SMS messages to your contacts mobile phones using Gmail Chat. The new feature is available through Gmail Labs which can be accessed via the settings tab in Gmail.

To use this feature, you will need to enable it in Google labs settings. The facility is currently available only for US numbers.

How to send Free SMS using the Gmail

1. Enter your contact’s name in the ‘Search or invite friends’ box in Chat, and select Send SMS from the box of options that appears to the right of your contact’s name. Or, if you already have a Chat window open for this contact, just click Options, and select Send SMS.

2. In the dialog box, enter a phone number in the ‘Send SMS messages to this number’ field.

3. Click Save.

4. A Chat window appears. Just type your message as you would normally. When you hit Enter, the message will be sent to the phone number you entered.

If your contact replies, the text message response will appear as a reply in Chat. These conversations are stored in your Chat history. This service would be free for the user of Gmail but receiving end users will pay regular SMS rates to their mobile carrier.
