- Easy and fast – directly from Skype.

- Reach friends instantly anywhere in the world.
- Your own mobile number can be shown as the sender.
Sending a text message directly from Skype is perfect when you want to quickly reach a friend or colleague. You can even group a bunch of people together and send them the same message with one keystroke.
And the great thing about SMS is that you no longer have to write messages in special text speak like “hi jess how r u. Will c u @ 7 2nite 4 coffee”. Now it’s easier to say in full exactly what you want from your keyboard. You can send text messages to phones on any network, in any country.
How much does it cost?
Just like sending texts from your mobile, you pay per SMS message you send from Skype, but they are usually much cheaper. The cost of each text depends on where in the world you’re sending it to (but not where you’re sending it from, however). It’s just 9¢ to most places, but there’s a big list of rates to destinations worldwide.
