Skype to SMS

The trickier part was getting it so a cellphone could send an SMS text message to a Skype user, but Connectotel has also worked it out so you can do the reverse, too (yeah, it's already fairly easy to send an SMS from a PC). Basically you just add "smsgateway" to your user list, type in the number of the person you want to bother, and then enter you message and you're good to go.

Here's something else about this:
"Connectotel is the gateway between Skype and the GSM gateway which means there is a "security point" risk. You should be aware that your message is not encrypted end to end."

This guy blogs about Skype quite a bit.

Another step along the way toward Skype - or equivalent - ubiquity. The question remains whether this will remain a consumer-focused tool, or whether enterprise will pick up on it as well as a complement to VoIP strategy.
