Do you know their phone's email address? If so, use plain text format and
keep the message under 160 char.

As an FYI - this addin connects outlook and your phone via bluetooth or USB
so you use outlook to compose the SMS - its sent over to the phone using
bluetooth to be sent on the cellular system. It only works with GSM phones.
I haven't quite decided if there is a point to using outlook to compose -
but my phone has a qwerty keyboard (so typing is easy) and isn't GSM (so I
can't use this addin).
