Thanks
If the posts #1, #4 and #8 were not clear enough, here what you gonna do:
* open your Yahoo messenger
* if you want, add yourself as a new contact.
* right click on the yahoo Id and click on edit contact detail
* in the primary tab add the mobile phone number
* click save and close
* now click on the same yahoo id you save the mobile phone number to
* and click on SMS
* write your message and hit send
* wait a moment a message will be delivered to the phone
* notice that the message will appear coming from an 8digit number
* save that number to the contacts (same person) on your phone, I usually put it under the pager number
* and now browse to that number on the phone in the contacts and hit "Menu" (the right soft key) and hit the "Send Text Message"
* it will open the txt message window compose you message as you do in the regular txt message and hit send
* the other person, or you if you added yourself to the Yahoo messenger, should receive the message.

hope that is precise enough

let me know if it worked or did not work for you
