I tried mobile.live.com, i can sign in, but almost all my contacts were offline, even i saw one of the contact online in his pc, so i couldn't send a message to anyone. Also the message sent from pc to me (while i was logged in via mobile) didn't arrive.
I prefer wap.tjat.com - it works perfect and simple |
