    Well I know how to add an American cell phone number as a contact to my AIM so I can send text messages to it from my computer (+1XXXXXXXXXX). Recently one of my friends has moved to Japan, and I tried adding her cell phone to message it and it doesn't seem to work. I know the code (+81) is right, so I don't understand why it's not working. Any ideas?

    This site gives the codes for calling, so I assume it should be similar for texting.

    It's not exactly texting. I use AIM and MSN to send text messages to peoples phones.

    you could have her send you a text message from her phone to your email and when you receive the email it will have the number that you need to put in to message her from aim

    or at least i think so

    good luck

    On Yahoo! if you have her as a friend and she logs in to Yahoo! using her phone it should show her phone number if you open a window to message back and forth.
