You can use aim or msn to send texts to people in the states and possibly other countries.Msn is better because you can get offline messages where with aim you can't.

I haven't been able to configure mine to send text messages. Someone was saying you can use MSN to send text messages to US phones, but for some reason I can't figure out how to do it.

Skype also can send text messages to the US, anywhere really.

Just add a new contact, put the name and phone number with area code. Then double click on the contact, send a message.

My wife sends texts to the UK via Korean MSN. Credit needs to be purchased.
