From the FAQ, it says all you do is Add their phone number; I used +19195551234 - but how do I know if the txt/sms gets to them? How do they reply? Or can they not?
Also, which "network" would I have to send the SMS from; my guess would be either AIM or ICQ? I tried adding (on accident) +19195551234 to my jabber account buddy list but it didn't work; so Im guessing it only works with AIM/ICQ.
And, when the person gets the text message, who does it say it's from? My ICQ/AIM username? And can they reply?

I believe it only works on AIM (though it might also work on ICQ). I believe it only works for US numbers and may be limited by cell provider (I'm not sure). I assume it appears to come from your username though I don't really know, and I also don't know if they can respond.

Unsure of ICQ, but it works on AIM. Upon sending a message to an SMS number, one gets the following auto-reply:
"Your IM has been sent to my mobile device. When I receive it, I will be able to reply. Thanks for your IM! Want your IMs forwarded to your phone? Click here." *here* links to http://mobile.aol.com/mobileaim/forwardims
The recipient gets an SMS from a random number, and the message is formatted as follows:
"<screen name> (using AOL IM)
<message>
(You can reply to this message)"

neato. ok so yea it doesn't seem to work with ICQ, but when I used my AIM s/n I got the auto-responder, followed by a "Your message could not be delivered. Please try again later." but that's ok :) That number has SMS/txt messaging blocked :X lol.
