When you get an IM, it notifies you that you have a new IM. On BlackBerry, it even lists the conversation in your message list, along with your SMS and email.
I've been using this to have lengthy text conversations with friends for years (when voice isn't possible or practical). Sure, I do have unlimited SMS, but when trying to chat in real time, Windows Live is much easier.
Leave it to AOL and Apple to take a concept that is years-old and market it as a great new idea. Oh, and they CHARGE for the ad-free version! HA! I've never paid a cent for Windows Live! -- I'm one of those people you can't take out of context. You have to see the whole me before I begin to make any sense. |
