Many of my friends with cellphones are able to communicate to me on my computer by texting me or vice versa with Windows Live Messenger or MSN Messenger. I've tried to set it up under the options of WLM. It asks me to select my provider, where there is nothing that applies to my phone. I tried Rogers and entered my phone number to receive a confirmation code, but I never received one. I have tried this multiple times. I have also tried selecting "Other" for my provider and it asks me if my phone supports text messaging, which it does, and also asks for the mobile address. I don't know what a mobile address is, and if so, where can I find it? Or will this not work and does my Speak Out phone (Nokia 1600) not support this feature?

This feature is not supported by 7-11 at present.
Going rate for this service by other service providers seems to be $5.00 / month plus 5 cents / page.
Some bundle this in with their more expensive plans. Virgin charges a flat $7.00 / month.
7-11's market is for the low end so don't expect support for any of the high end services.

Rogers mobile address format is "your 10-digit number"@pcs.rogers.com. You could also get a custom email address - ie yourname@pcs.rogers.com. I used both forms when I was with Rogers. Neither works at Speakout.
