One of the things I miss about carrying an Android-powered phone is Chrome to Phone, a neat little utility that lets users send links to their phones from their desktop browser.
Turns out, while there isn’t an official way of doing this, there is a really easy way to get it done without any 3rd-party apps.
If you use iChat (or Adium or any other AIM client out there), simply add a new contact, using the 10-digit phone number of your iPhone, with the +1 country code:
Once you add the buddy, it will show in your contact list:
Sending a message to that contact will actually send an SMS to your iPhone:
See? Magic!
Please note that I haven’t tested this outside of the US, and that since we’re using SMS, charges may apply.
