People can do free SMS using Yahoo messenger on M$windows, but Y!Messenger for Linux is not giving this facility.
Is there any way to do SMS to Indian Mobiles free of cost (using Yahoo or some different site) from Linux PC.

You could probably interested to know more about

for GAIM.
I would recommend using GAIM / Kopete as an IM Client instead of Yahoo!'s own IM client for your distro.

It seems to be for different purpose, to get messages on my mobile.
GaimSMS is a Gaim plugin which will forward all incoming IMs to a mobile phone number via SMS when you are idle. ...
It also looks very old and not maintained as last release was in July 2003
http://mytoday.com/psmw/greetings.jsp seems to fit my requirement with limitation that it has no facility for address book, I have to enter mobile number again and again.

1) According to the site, it works only on SprintPCS Phones. 2) The last released date was in 2003, which explains why it is talking about Gaim 0.64 . I am using Gaim 1.51

Ayttm already does this natively without the need for a plugin.

When you send any SMS using any email/website program, you are giving out someone else's mobile number to a thrid party. All this gets stored in their database.

use the email to sms gateway provided by most providers. for example, my mobile phone in bangalore can be smsed by sending email to phonenumber@airtelkk.com
similar services exist for other providers. There's a list online of the domains used by different providers, but you'll have to search for it.
