....I find it hard to believe Telstra makes you download an application to
enable this relatively simple kind of service. Most other servers just
provide a web interface.

Mind you - I wouldn't use a service that calls itself a "buddy" anyway.

You can still use their web based service if you don't want to download this

Downloading 8.14Mb of software, then installing on a box you might not
have privileges to do so, or isn't win32, just to send an SMS, is more
convenient than a quick web-based interface?

You sir, are a fucking moron. Although we already knew that.
