Mobile Messaging problem

Hi,
Whenever I try to use MSN on my computer to message a friend on their phone,
I keep getting the same error and I can't figure out why. This isn't for a
specific friend, but I get the same error for any mobile friend I try to
message so I think it has to do with my program or with the servers. I was
using windows live 8.1 and it didn't work so I tried reinstalling it, still
didn't work, then tried uninstalling and installing MSN 7.0 and still won't
work. Mobile messaging was working on Saturday because I used it then, and
now it stopped working for no reason.

The error message I get when I try to send out messages is-

This message was not sent because MSN Mobile Messaging is temporarily
unavailable. Please try again later.

Thanks

PS - I also posted this under MSN Messenger since it was happening for both
my programs and I wasn't sure which section would get me more help with the
topic.

Greetings,

It's a server problem, not much you can do about it at the moment.

Any idea as to when this might be resolved?

Hi,

It's working again for me. If you've not already done so, shut Messenger down and restart it
as it may need to re-download the Mobile configuration it loads up when you sign in.

This is pretty ridiculous! I was chatting to a friend on her Cell, and
suddenly it stopped working. That was Saturday at around 2am. We're now
Wednesday, a full 5 days later, and the issue still isn't resolved! It only
affects the one friend though. I have other's that I can message on their
cell phones with no problem at all!

Over the past week its been getting progressively worse. Trying to sign in to
messenger live from my phone, I had to hit retry several times before I got
signed in. Today I have been trying for ages and still get the message "There
is a problem with the server. Please try again later."

I've been having problems for awhile now too. To do: Get mobile messaging
working consistently. That's my contribution. I figure there's some sort of
team that can handle it from this point.

For at least the last 4 days i have been unable to use the txt messaging
feature of WLM. I keep getting the Mobile Messaging Unavailable message.

Can we get any feedback from someone at Microsoft that this problem is known
and some group or team is ACTIVELY working on fixing it or at least can we be
told what the problem is?
