can't send sms messages with jabber, how to fix that?

I've never really used ichat before and apparently sms messages can't be sent using jabber. Is there anything i can use or change on my ichat so that i'm able to send sms messages ?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Hi,


As you have somewhat found out it can only be AIM Buddies (Or rather US Phones via the AIM service).


The Computer has to be set to "be In" the United States (See th Language and Text pane in Lion or International in earlier OS versions.


The Phone then has to be on a Carrier that also takes the AIM SMS forwarding service.


Search the App store for SMS apps and Utilities
