You can get both IMs (as SMS messages) and incoming Messenger phonecalls forwarded to your mobile device.

To get IMs as SMS messages:

1. Click the Forward... button at the top of your Messenger window.
2. Click Forward offline IMs to, then click Add a phone number.
3. You'll be guided through a few easy steps for entering your number.

• If you already have a registered number, it will be displayed in the “Forward offline IMs to” menu, and you can simply click it to start IM forwarding.

To enter your number for Messenger call forwarding:

1. Click Forward... at the top of your Messenger window.
2. Click Add a Number, and follow the steps to activate the number to which you'd like to forward calls.
3. Once you've activated call forwarding, you do not need to be signed-in to Messenger to receive calls. In fact, your computer can be off completely.
4. Note: You'll incur Phone-Out charges when Messenger phone calls are forwarded, so you'll need a Phone Out account. Calls forwarded to landline phones won't incur an additional charge, but calls forwarded to mobile numbers may count as minutes used, depending on the plan you've purchased from your mobile carrier.
