Skype Oddity: Send SMS from Skype

Don’t get me wrong, I love Skype.  It’s one of the best IM services I’ve used, the best voice chat service I’ve ever used.  But it does do one thing that I find quite odd.

You can send SMS messages through it; as long as you purchase Skype credit.

Now, as an American, this is fairly odd behavior.  Through most other IM services I use, I can also send and receive SMS – Completely Free.

Maybe Skype just doesn’t have enough money rolling in to be able to do that?
