Yep, get the latest version of ICQ, you can send and receive sms through the actual application, it's fecking great! Not sure what the coverage is like in Australia but i'm sure if she's on a vodafone network it's covered

Just to warn you some of the OZ networks do not accept incoming international text (or let you send them) if she can text you, you are probably ok.

Theres Something with the French, South African and Australian Phone networks that wont allow incoming SMS's, I dont really know what all thats about.

Ring their Customer Care and ask them.

Try dwnloading ICQ. The SMS feature in that is supposed to work with any network. I never use it but a mate swears by it and i think he txts his sis in Australia.
