did you use 1 in front of your number? 1myphonenumber@mmsviaero.com works for me

Actually it appears to be working now. I was also having trouble with Youtube, but after changing the "streaming url" setting under the video player, I'm now able to view youtube videos and I'm also receiving the messages sent to both 1myphonenumber@mmsviaero.com and 1myphonenumber@viaerosms.com.

Do you (or anyone else here) happen to know anything about using MSN Messenger(Windows Live) with Viaero? I've set up my messenger so when people send me messages when I'm not on my computer, they go to my phone as a text message. But when I try to reply to these messages, I get a message back that says "Viaero Interactive SMS Server: Unknown Command". I'm wondering if the option to send a reply to these particular messages isn't supported by Viaero...

Thanks...

sorry can't help you with the MSN problem. I think if you use palringo it can do MSN messenger, not sure however.

Another option if you're willing to pay the $25 one time fee is to get Trillian Astra. You can use that from your mobile browser and will allow you to use all of your IM apps in one place. It also makes it so you can use multiple computers and still access the same contacts and IM connections.

I sent Viaero an email, and I got a reply saying that they don't support and currently don't have any plans to support "short-code SMS", which is why I'm not able to send replies to these SMS messages that I get from my msn/windows live contacts.

I guess I'll just use palringo if I need to reply to any of these messages that I get. But anyway, I just thought I'd post Viaero's response in case it might help or be of interest to anyone else.

Thanks everyone!

So, is March still looking possible, or did this lousy winter we're having play havok with the timelines again? (I really hate winter)

When is Viaero going to lower the price of its unlimited plans?

What is Blackberry Lite? Is this a data add-on? Is it a data only plan? Is it a mix of data and voice? What does it include? What does it cost?

The website doesn't say squat. It won't even let you browse these unless you give a credit card number.

This is how the Blackberry lite plans break down

Plan 1
400 Local Min.
300 sms/mms messages
email
Price - 49.95

Plan 2
500 Nationwide Min.
600 sms/mms messsages
email
Price - 69.95

So if you wanted unlimited data, sms/mms, email with blackberry you would have to get a voice plan then the 39.99 blackberry data. Thats how it was explained to me anyhow.

**wralford** · 02-26-2010, 02:14 PM

So these plans don't include any mobile web at all?

**halac0ax** · 02-26-2010, 04:50 PM

as it was explained to me was they do have unlimited data, but some blackberry apps (such as BB messanger) will count as a SMS so that will eat up those real quick if you're not careful.
