Hello there,
I've used this script in the past and it worked.
However, with current FF ver 2.0.0.7, it does not work.
Any points/suggestions?

Thanks.

Thanks again to Kfir for the most recent version of the script... he had brought it to my attention that the current version was broken with Google´s recent changes, but I´ve been living with dial-up, and he got around to fixing it faster. Thanks Kfir!

I get the shortened version of the directions, but is this script supposed to send them to my phone as well? If its not, thats cool, but if it is, what am I missing? I'm using FF 1.5. Thanks! Slick script btw!

Just updated script. Thanks to Kfir for providing an improved version of the script:
- now works with FF1.5
- removes dependency on custom function
- fixed some other bugs

Have fun!

This one doesn't seem to work with FF 1.5. I tested it and got 4 SMS messages!

Very nice! it would be nice if there were a toggle to remove the SMS directions although I realize a refresh probably does equeally well so this is just "window dressing"

cool idea, heres an idea for an enhancement:

you dont actually need to install the sendtophone extension to use the service, as its basically just using javascript and the following webpage: http://toolbar.google.com/send/sms/index.php
it shouldnt be too difficult to add code in to the script that lets you send by SMS direct from the page :)
