    Default How to SMS to Skype.

    Hey guys, This is how you send SMS to Skype:

    1. Start all messages with 'skype' followed by the person you wish to contacts username.

    Example: skype spencer_y89

    2. Write your message.

    3. Send the message to +447747782320

    The message has now been sent and will appear to the Skype user as shown below.

    The messages are charged at standard rate, meaning there are to extra charges for this service, just the normal network rate.

    I have tested messages to myself several times and recieved all of them. However i am getting mixed response from other users.

    Can you please post how you get on with it
