Gmail introduce SMS chat

The feature is available only in the United States for now. To use it, people must first enable it through Gmail Labs, then they can initiate SMS-based instant message chats by typing in a phone number in the chat box on the left of the Gmail page.
People who receive SMS messages from the service will get a return phone number from the 406 area code, which Dirac was happy to point out spells G0.

Tactfully, Dirac also observes that sending SMS messages from Gmail might be costing your buddies money, so be judicious.
