13 Dec 08 SMS with Gmail Chat
You can now continue Gmail chats by SMS with people that have a US cell phone number. Replies get sent to your gmail chat window.

Being a US only service at launch, i’m guessing they are using the Free Email > SMS functionality that North American carriers provide:
The same functionality is available in some other countries also. Alternatively (though I doubt it) Google may be using an SMS gateway like Clickatell or Bulletin Wireless to facilitate the process. Even more unlikely, is that they have struck deals directly with the US carriers.
