i just found out that that using bluetooth to send and receive sms on my powerbook is charging me on my bill for sending mms messages. sending sms on my handset is free. the mms cost 10 cents a piece which really added up this past month. i didn't know that i was getting charged. i think it's something my phone is doing whenever it sends messages via bluetooth.

anyway.. im looking for a good application that will allow me to send/recieve sms messages. i would use ichat but i just found out that sprint pcs (majority of the people i text) does not accept messages from aim.

any one have any idea?

Go to versiontracker and search on 'SMS'. There are plenty of free ones in the list that you can test drive. I've tried Blue Phone Menu and it worked very well (though I eventually had to drop my Bluetooth phone for a non-BT one that worked better for everything else).
While you are at it, give Romeo or Sailing Clicker a try too. These programs will allow you to use your bluetooth phone as a remote control for your mac. Pretty slick

BluePhoneMenu is obsolete. BluePhoneElite (http://www.reelintelligence.com/BluePhoneElite/) is the new version, and it rocks.
