RE: Call a Contact not working

July 20, 2008
I've been experiencing the same issue on and off for a couple of weeks now.
I used to be able to rely on messenger for regular communication with my son
in Japan. Now, most of the time, I get the message, "Messenger is not
available right now. Please try again later. (0x80ef01f4)."

It really makes communication difficult. I sent an email to Microsoft about
3 weeks ago and I think it just goes to the 'bit-bucket' since I haven't
heard anything from them.

Regards
