Sending an SMS in Skype using my mobile number

Sending an SMS in Skype using my mobile number

I want to use Skype to send SMSs overseas, and sent a test SMS or two to a friend. He got the SMSs alright, but couldn't directly reply since, by default, Skype was identifying me as my Skype Name. So, in 'Options -> SMS settings' I changed the identification mode to be my mobile number, which means that my friend can now directly reply to my SMSs via their phone.

"No, there's no way Skype will know that your friend replied to your mobile phone, because Skype can't look into your phone.

Also, Skype can't receive SMS (yet?), so even if you provided your SkypeIn number as SMS sender, it still wouldn't work."
