This new service by Windows Live allows you to:
- Update your personal message
- Check your Windows Live Calendar
- Invite people to join your network
- Get contact info for people in your Windows Live contact list
To use these services, first you’ll need to register your mobile number with Windows Live and then you’ll just send a text message (SMS) with a “command” to a shortcode:
- If you’re in the US and your mobile operator is AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Nextel, your shortcode is MyLive or 695483.
- If you’re in the UK and your mobile operator is Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, O2, or Virgin, your shortcode is 88804.
Standard SMS messaging costs apply in both the US and UK. So your mobile operator will charge your normal rate for each text message you send and receive. There’s no additional charge from Microsoft.
