Can I receive SMS alerts when I receive an instant message?

Microsoft is offering a paid service called MSN Mobile (homepage) that redirects Hotmail & MSN Messenger alerts to your mobile phone (GSM for dutchies). In fact, they're gradually integrating the different MSN services into the wireless platform. Here's a quick overview:

Hotmail

- Composing e-mail is made easy by just typing in the Hotmail quick-name -- so you don't need to know your buddy's e-mail address;

- Send, receive, reply and delete Hotmail over SMS;

- Junk-mail filters are set to high so you don't need to worry about SPAM;

- Be notified automatically on your phone when there are new e-mail messages in your Hotmail Inbox;

- By personalizing your alert settings, get only the phone alerts you want for messages sent to your Hotmail Inbox.

MSN Messenger

- Send and receive instant messages from your mobile phone;

- Allow your Messenger buddies to send messages to your phone when you are not online;

- Retrieve your existing MSN Messenger Contact List on the phone and see who's online.

You can perform a check for availability in your country and from your mobile operator on this page. Services and possibilities vary heavily depending on these two factors!
