I thought even the "full-blown" Linux desktop skype app lacks SMS, although it was rumoured to be coming in the next version some day some year.
Based on my experience with the previous skype for Maemo (4) those guys don't like updating their "niche" releases (esp. contractual ones) all that often, if ever.
Hope springs eternal though. Maybe they have web-based SMS hidden away somewhere so your credit isn't all wasted.
Or maybe there are other options on N900?

Well the good news is that you'll have access to that amount via your desktop clients - on Mac and Windows that is.

Thanks for the replies, looks like i'll have to live with it for now.
By the way, what do you mean by a bug was filed? I'm relatively new to Linux.
thanks..

I'm new to this too, the way it works is when a program doesn't work as expected you file a bug somewhere on this website. it is a sort of feedback system where the users can indicate what is wrong with the current software.

how much do you pay for sending an sms throug skype?
i did find it expensive but i havent compared it recently
But do you want to cheaply send sms? Use a betamax provider one of these:
http://backsla.sh/betamax
like voipbuster: http://www.voipbuster.com/en/sms-rates.html
then download the app WebTexter and fill in your credentials an the right sms url:
https://www.voipbuster.com/myaccount/sendsms.php
This will enable you to send sms with that program and it already has some integration into conversations because when you send an sms to a person it will add that sms to the conversations log of that person. (so when you get a reply you will see your sms that you send) Works pretty great.

Am I missing something? Is there any way to do it? Or have I just wasted my money? =]
