Hi first time

Recently i have been experiencing a few problems with my messenger.

When i add new contacts is says--
"You're done!...This Windows Live Service isn't available right now, but we'll add xxx@hotmail.com to your contacts as soon as the service is available again."

IT NEVER DOES, even when i know that they are on.

It seems that i can't add new contacts and i can't recieve new requests.
But when i logged on msn with another computer, i got the requests and i saw my new contacts online.
Then i logged back on msn on my normal comp and they're not there D:

This is really annoying

Someone please help!!!!!!!!!

Same here!

Whenever I tried to add a new contact, either that Error which the Thread Start has stated or it would say "We couldn't add <email> because your Contact list is full. Please remove some of your contacts from the list and try again..." Help please....I only have about 140+ contacts in my list! =S

I will be back on 14/3 to look for the solution/answer. Thanks a million!

Can anyone give us a prompt reply? ):....
It's very urgent...please...thanks!

It sounds like a server side issue (perhaps related to the ongoing issues with the reverse list) as many people are now suddenly reporting the same thing.  All I can suggest is leaving it a few days and seeing if it sorts itself out

I cant add people on msn either i get the reply...

"We couldnt add xxx@live.co.uk because your contact list is full.
Please removesomeone from your contact list first."

i had 300 contacts deleted 150 of them and nothings changed im pissed off annoyed and sad deleted loads of friends Any suggestions? Anything would be appriciated. Thank you in advance.

Please read my post above....

I know just making the problem more known :/

If you want the problem to be know to the right people (Microsoft), you could better report it via Live Support.

This is a non-affiliated 3rd party forum. So unfortunatly, we can't help you with stuff like this and we don't have the ability to do something about it...

The only people who can do something about it are Microsoft, but for that they need to be aware of the problem.

At the official forums there a lot of threads about it. eg:
http://windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?postid=f2a...-a704-ad4531a3773c

Try to post in one of those

Sorry to confuse you and that you had to see those old links. I removed those links because apparently the official forums are active now (see my edited post above again). They replace what used to be the FAQ (its all part of the transition to the new wave 4/next version of things).

Below are the maximum numbers of contacts that your Windows Live Messenger account can accommodate:

    * Hotmail and Messenger Contacts – The sum of all your contacts in both Windows Live Messenger and Hotmail. Your account can accommodate a maximum of 1250 contacts.
    * Allowed Contacts – Contacts that can view your online status, and send you instant messages (IM). You can have up to 1500 allowed contacts.

    * Group – Customer defined groups. The default groups are Online, Offline, and Mobile. You can include up to 100 contacts in a group.



Note: Even though the Allow, Block, Pending, Reverse lists and Hotmail address-book have their own limit as stated above, only 1000 can be viewable in Windows Live Messenger under the "Privacy" tab. 1000 contacts include Allow, Block, Pending, Reverse and Hotmail address-book



*** If you intend to add contacts but you already reached the limit of the number of contacts that you can add, you will receive an error saying;



Sorry, contact display name could not be added. Your contact list is full. Please delete a contact from your list and then try again.
