As part of our Prophecy 10 announcement today, you can now immediately start to add SMS and instant messaging to your existing (or new) Tropo applications. When you login to Tropo and look at the settings for one of your applications, you will see that you now have new settings:

All you need to do is follow the links and instructions and… ta da… you now have a single “communications app” that is communicating with users through voice, SMS, and IM. (And yes, you could of course create a “SMS-only” or “IM-only” app that purely interacts with users via those mediums.)

Please do check it out… try it out (perhaps with the sample apps available at docs.tropo.com)… and let us know what you think. And if you come up with a great sample app using the IM or SMS side of things, we’d love to hear about it and potentially point it out to others.
