Windows Live Messenger 2010 SMS text messages dont work by bodomhatecrew on 07-11-2010 at 09:40 PM
Well up until today i've been able to send and receive text messages from my contacts. But now whenever i try to send it to them it says;
*This message was not sent. To send messages to a mobile device, you must first buy mobile messages. ^Buy now.^
What does this mean? cause i clicked on the link where it said to buy and it took my to a site where i had to register my phone, so i did so and all that was for was to download Windows live for my phone -.-
So i cant "buy" anything because there is nothing there to buy that would allow me to send text messages to my contacts.
Anyone else have this problem? I've tried redownloading windows live but for some completely stupid reason every time i download it no matter what version it says, its always the new 2010 version, which is really starting to get on my nerves. Anyone else having this problem?

It's always been like that, I believe.
I usually right click > send offline message instead.
So you're saying you've been able to send free text messages to all your contacts mobiles?
When I try I get:

We are sorry but Mobile Messaging credits are no longer available
So I guessed they stopped it, but I don't know how recent that is.

It's always cost to send text messages as far as I'm aware, so I guess you was lucky.

I'm not too sure tbh. I Google'd it and it appears you can sometimes send SMS for free to contacts.Have you tried logging in on a different computer and trying? If not, do so.

In which case there's nothing you can fix on your computer, it's tied to your account.
Ask on the Solution Centre and the Windows Live support team should be able to answer you.
