Yes, you can reply - just tested it on my Nokia phone thru AT&T. The reply showed up pretty much instantaneously in iChat.

iChat/AV beta works for this--messages get sent, and I could respond OK (albeit awkwardly) from my Motorola POS phone. However each of the two messages I sent to the phone had different receiver numbers, so I don't know that you can originate a conversation from a phone.

Neat tip. However, I couldn't get reply to work. The reply number claimed to be a 6-digit number (265 060) which of course fails :(
Reply works but address is coded
indeed the address is a 6 digit [250 620] number with a space in the middle. but i replied to it and it worked...no sooner did i press OK to send the message than my iChat received the reply...amazingly fast!

Reply support depends on your mobile carrier. My limited tests show that SprintPCS Vision cannot reply, while Verizion can.

It depends on your phone's model/firmware/software version as well: my Verizon/Moto V60 does not offer a "reply" choice while a friend's T720 does.

I was able to SMS my LG VX10 (on verizon) and reply to iChat. I saved the addresss on the phone. I used the saved address to send an SMS to my iChat user. SO...my phone can receive and initiate chat sessions FWIW.

Send SMS messages but CANNOT save "buddy" number
YEs, works great, but I cannot save the +1xxxxxxxx format as a user name to my iChat so it is useless if each time I have to whip out my phone and type in the telephone number again... anyone figured out how to do this yet? |
