WLM

I'm out of town and purchased a laptop to use while I'm away (medical emergency). When using windows live messenger to send a text to a mobile phone is says I can't do it. When I use my desktop at home I can. Can anybody explain this?

Hope all is well Bassfisher

Do you get an error when trying to SMS a mobile phone or does it just not show the SMS feature?

 

[bassfisher6522]

No error just this "
This message was not sent because messages can't be sent to this mobile number"

When I use my desktop with WLM it goes through with no problem. I cant SMS to any mobile's from this lap top. like I said I'm not at home and I know my desktop is off.

Have you been able to send SMSs to the same number from the desktop? It's possible to disable receiving them on an account basis, so it could be this if it's the first time you've tried this particular number.

Sorry I can't be of more help but I've not had this happen before and can't find much on the net, other than the above.

Do you have the APP installed to send text thru windows live.

What is APP? I've never of heard of it. How do find out if I have it installed or not.

 

[m1r2hud]

it came with my windows live updates. i installed everything windows live came with and texting through messenger was part of it.

If all else fails uninstall and reinstall..damn it.

 

[bassfisher6522]

Well that didn't work...uninstall and reinstall.
