Now says "Message from (your account name) is too long and has been shortened." If you know the solution, let me know.

Accounts are set up as:

+1##########@sms.talk.google.com

Thanks,

Jose Vargas

A step-by-step explanation how to reproduce is welcome.

I took these steps to set it up when it worked. If you search in the forums, it will work in the US. Again, it was working until yesterday. I had not changed settings.

Thanks

1) In Control Panel, open Accounts
2) Click New/Edit to create a Google Talk account with your google account credentials
3) In View Contacts, add/edit a contact
4) In field field "google talk", type +1xxxyyyyyyy@sms.talk.google.com (replace x and y w/ area code and phonenumber)
5) Select contact & start the chat (or start chat & select the contact)
6) Ignore the message "Contact is unauthorized. Unable to guarantee that messages will be delivered."

If anyone has a fix, let me know.

Thanks,

Jose Vargas

I just followed your setup directions and did not have a problem - it worked for me.

Thanks I was looking for a better SMS method then Phone Link one that I can see reply messages

I would suggest deleting the account settings and starting over.
