    Sending SMS from Mac iChat application?

    Is that really possible to send some normal sms from the iChat application on my Mac? Can someone provide me the information on this? I really wanted to make it working but am not sure what steps I need to follow for the same. Thanks.

    Yes, if your Mac is updated with the latest software updates then for sure it will be possible as the SMS feature is enabled in the latest iChat application but note that this option is available only for USA users. Now just follow up the below mentioned steps,

    STEP 1: Open the iChat application.

    STEP 2: Go to the File menu -> Select “New chat with person” or press the Command + Shift + N.

    STEP 3: Now enter the mobile phone number with the country code.


    STEP 4: Select OK -> Type the message and click on return. Your text message will be sent to the number at once.

    Hello my Dear Friend ..



    You can Actually SEND TEXT MESSAGES TO ANY PHONE DIRECTLY THROUGH " ICHAT "

    And for this .. you must have to Add your Buddy

    So Now add a Buddy to your List and Instead of the Name ..


    Type +1 in front of the Phone Number

    It usually includes the AREA CODE .. Even IF IT'S LOCAL

    Also do not put Any Spaces in the Number


    If you already have this Buddy in the list ..

    Try to make a new and Separate Entry for this Person

    So now the INFO will be stored in the Buddy list


    So make sure you have done all the above things

    Now probably it should definitely fix the issue


    GOOD LUCK
