I had the very same problem, after a hard reset I could not send any SMS text messages from within Outlook 2010 and yes you don’t have to use a pay service if you use Microsoft Exchange 2010.
Make sure you’re outlook is connected to Microsoft Exchange 2010.
Setup a sync partnership in WIndows Mobile Device Center.
