You can do this from any SMS gateway, as there is no real verification. However most gateways do not allow their users to spoof the sender because predictably the carriers do not like it.
Indeed, it's nothing new. I've used this trick so many times with friends :)
Skype also allows you to freely choose the sending number of your SMS (however, it first checks if you can receive SMS at this number).

This doesn't work on my cellphone's voicemail. I guess the new systems closed that hole.
