Is anybody using there the built in chat protocol to send sms?

I would like to use this because if the person getting the txt message and replies to me...I would like to read the reply instantly in the chat box.

If you have access to aol instant messenger from your tablet (pidgin or rtcomm) you can send SMS for free by sending to +12065551212 (probably US only).

The only downside of this is the person replying can only do so for a certain number of days, after the timeout you get a new number as a from handle.

I don't think it was as much Google as it was an iPhone app that was sold (I think for 99 cents each) that promised free SMS messaging. I think Google had a problem with people making money off of their free service.
