Default adding cellphone numbers to my contacts?

hello

i have 2 questions:

1) i saw that i can send SMS via MSN6.1 but unfurtunate not all my contacts
added their cell phones. since they are all good friends of mine i have
their cell phones numbers and i want to know if its possible to add them by
myself via MSN6.1. this way i can SMS them when they are offline.

2) why cant i SMS my contacts when they are on-line but away for example?

both problems i mentioned above are already fixed in ICQ. why doesnt MSN
offer those features?

Greetings,

1. They'll need to add it themselves, you can't actually add it on your side.

2. You can, just right-click them, and choose "Send a message to a mobile device".

thanks Jonathan for the answers.

now, who do i have to contact in order to propose the idea of adding
cellphone number on my side?

i tihnk it should've been obvious for MSN programers. otherwise, MSN is not
better then ICQ.

Hi,

I'll pass the suggestion on, but due to the way MSN Mobile currently works, I don't think
it's very doable.
