I always thought Yahoo Mail had some sort of texting built in. Apparently not — as it’s just been announced that they now support it to some countries. Unfortunately the UK isn’t in that list… yet. Most probably (I’m just hypothesising) because Yahoo have to pay to originate a message in the UK; whereas in Canada or other countries, they can ‘email’ a 160 character message to a cellphone number — so the recipient pays, not Yahoo.
