Sending IM to mobile phones via iChat
February 18, 2009 – 1:25 pm
I just tried sending someone a SMS instant message via AIM iChat and received this auto-reply:
Auto-reply: Sorry, your IM was not sent because this mobile user has not yet accepted IM to Mobile messages
I don’t understand this. I sent a message the same way yesterday and got a reply. I actually received this auto-reply before the one above:
Auto-reply: This mobile user has been notified of your IM. Your IM will be sent if the user accepts. Thank you for using IM to Mobile!
So maybe the party I’m trying to instant message just hasn’t accepted something yet? Is this something new?

I get the same message when sending an SMS, but the recipient still gets the SMS message I send.

what the reciever has to do is accept the message, so until they accept it, the person doesnt get the text
