If you install Pidgin, you can SMS from AIM by putting "+" and the country code in front of the entire number. In the US, sending an IM from your N770/N800 to "+12025551212" would SMS that person at "202 555 1212". My wife and I SMS quite a bit from my N800.
I'm not familiar with the UK country code or whether oscar.aol.com is acting as an SMS gateway in the UK.
Having a native SMS client to your phone might be better, but I haven't seen any yet. While I've coded in Python for Linux servers and for the Danger Hiptop (T-Mobile Sidekick), I haven't touched it yet on the N800. I'm curious how the APIs are.

. Reason: edited for clarification (AIM will act as SMS gateway in US, not sure if UK)
