Skype doesn't handle inbound SMS traffic.

There are certain 'free' services to enable people to send texts to Skype users but, since they often involve sending a text to an overseas number they're not always quite as 'free' as they seem. However this service uses a UK number (replace +44 with 0), so it might be worth a look:
