Juan Vides from pulver.com recently discovered that it is possible to use pulver.Communicator to to foward instant messages to SMS using AOL.

To give this a try, on pulver.Communicator, just add a buddy, choose AOL and type in your friend's cellphone number, using the format: "+1xxxxxxxxxx".

Wow, sounds great, tried it to my own cell #, as well as one in +49. So far (45' wait), did not get SMS on my phone, don't know yet about the +49 phone.
May be the instructions were not clear: Is an AIM account needed in the 1st place? Just put the cell # in the AOL name box?
Thanks - HP
