Currently, Google’s SMS platform only supports US numbers. No UK support here, unfortunately.

Would it be possible, with the already implemented Address Book integration to be able to add a feature that allows to send an SMS to a recipient that has a linked vCard? My suggestion for functionality would be when a contact is right clicked, if all conditionals are matched, you may choose a number to send an SMS to via GTalk. This would negate the necessity to add this information to one's contact and make things a bit more seamless. This is working great for me.

I can see the US method, but not the UK one. Do you know if it’s possible to send SMS’s within the UK using Google Talk? I can see the US method, but not the UK one.

Even better, how about the ability to enable/disable it within preference? @Marc: Whomever you send the SMS will be charged fees. They can reply back. Google generates an address for you, and their replies are routed to your chat window. This is a great opportunity for a feature request: how about a character counter in the chat window?

I would guess not, right? How would people text me? And does it somehow save texts sent to me if I'm not online? So are there SMS fees with this? I would guess not, right? How would people text me?

If I have people in my IM contact list that is connected to an address book entry, which has a mobile phone number, how do I get that number to work with sms? Or do I have to add the phone number as a new person to IM? I am actually confused, I currently only use adium for Google talk.
