View Full Version : SMS and Window Messenger 4.7 (XP)

Wondering if this happens with anyone else.
I've been playing with cell phone and Mobile Messaging.
Basically, I'm able to send a SMS and get a response back
showing my contacts that are online and such. When I try
sending a SMS to one of those contacts, it is supposed to
pop right up in their Messenger, just like as if I had
done it through my PC. However, it will crash their
Windows Messenger. (Unexpected error, sorry for the
inconveinence, blab blab). So, further tweeking reveals
that it will work great for those contacts who are logged
into MSN Messenger 5.0, but will not work for Windows
Messenger 4.7. Can anyone else get this to work for
Windows Messenger? Or maybe is this basically just a
limitation of Window Messenger?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Greetings Chris,

It's not a limitation, a number of people have been experiencing the same thing (although it
was working previously), looking into this.
