The new version of Yahoo! Mail now includes some intuitive communication features that make it a little easier for contacts to stay in touch. The first is the ability to send instant messages from Yahoo! Mail to mobile phone numbers. Mail users can now choose to send IM's to mobile numbers in the US, Canada, India and the Philippines without leaving Yahoo!'s web mail interface. Users simply enter a mobile phone number, type a message and send it.
The second Mail integration is the ability to send instant messaging straight from Yahoo! Mail to Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live Messenger users. This opens up chatting to millions of other IM users, straight from the Yahoo! Mail interface possible. These new features make it easier to connect with friends by converting emails to instant messages to text messages.
Yahoo! Mail IM and mobile feature enhancements will begin rolling out to users worldwide today. And if you are into adding a few new colors to the interface to spice things up, there are six customizable color themes available.

It's not doing anything at all for me.
#2, AIM has had SMS for quite some time. It's still there.

I've been sending text messages to phone numbers for a long time with Gmail.
I'd maybe use Yahoo mail to IM if it didn't have a memory link or crash Firefox fairly consistently.
Yahoo - I love ya, but you gotta fix what's there before adding features.

Ok, so here's a question - can you email an SMS through Yahoo mail on your iPhone? If you can, why would you ever send another SMS through AT&T?

Hey Mike, I heard that this release adds support for Safari. If the iPhone can now handle the new Y!Mail, you won't ever need to pay for SMS w/ it. It would take time to get to the mail page, though.

So, 'Yahoo! Mail IM and mobile feature enhancements will begin rolling out to users worldwide today.' That was 2 weeks ago. Still hasn't rolled out to me, when will it?
