I use google talk a lot. I use it as my primary phone number now. I have
a verizon cell phone, but I got the InPulse pay as you go service, so
text messaging costs me 10 cents a pop. I also use skype and Gizmo, so I
added my cell, skype and gizmo numbers to my google voice account and I
love it! I send sms through that as well, but using the google interface
isn't any different than my current squirrel mail setup.

Or is gtalk different? I have a google talk jabber account... Now
you've got me curious, can I add her as a contact in my gmail and have
sms sent back and forth... oh the possibilities!!!
