Received your reply and installed the software.

How would you like bug reports submitted? I haven't gotten to the Yahoo SMS feature yet, but I've found a few other problems already, as well as a few suggestions.

I'll assume you want it sent to the same support e-mail address unless I hear otherwise.

Detailed testing results sent.

I havent gotten the sms to work yet keep getting 50 error

You have an email waiting...

Yeah, I saw that and reported it, along with the workaround. Put a '1' before the phone number, then the SMS will go through. Replies don't seem to work, though.

i put the 1 and still get error #50 the yahoo service didnt validate given phone number thats what i get everytime

okay im a nerd. but IM in. Ill gladly test the software
ive sent the email as well.

I've found that when I have LED notification turned on, the red LED comes on and stays on (no blinking) immediately I start to send/receive IM messages. It doesn't go off even when I exit IM+ (I have to reboot)! Before I note it down as a bug, has anyone else experienced this, or can they suggest any explanation?

sigruffi same thing for me had to take battery out to get led to go off

Thanks for the heads-up. Guess that's one for the bug report.

Just received a response to my mail from tech support. Apparently the latest version (3.1) has fixed the LED problem. They're still quoting the '1' prefix as a solution to SMS problems.

I've tried repeatedly to use the SMS feature, using several different formats and prefixing numbers with a '1', but it doesn't work. Maybe it's because I'm sending to UK numbers. On that score, it doesn't seem possible to enter a number in international format (can't type the '+' sign in the phone number field), which you certainly can when using the Yahoo service from a PC.

Okay, so tech support have now informed me that "this [SMS] service will work only for USA". Makes you wonder why they accepted me onto the beta test when I clearly stated I was a customer with Vodafone UK. Oh well.

well i have tried every format there is and nothing works for me either and I am in the US

Hm. I suppose if nothing else, it gave me an excuse to load up IM+ and compare it with my trusty Verichat.

I just did the update to 3.1 - My first try with the SMS failed and got the same error as Dawg that it couldnt validate the phone number. I realized I forgot the area code and went thru OK afterward and no problem. 1XXXXXXXXXX
