sms via icq to cellcom

[Guy Sheffer]

Cellcom must have terminated their agreement with ICQ.
ICQ sends SMSs only to carriers that have a contract with them.

Cellcom used to have one. I guess they decided its not worth it.

BTW, you might like to have a look at a program I wrote for this:
http://smser.sourceforge.net/
It uses centerIM to let you send SMS via ICQ on the commandline.
