Instant access and so much more.
With Windows Live Messenger, it's all right there - your contact list, emoticons, and instant access to your friends. Plus, you'll find cool new ways to connect and share with the people you care about.

Connect how and when you want.
Get in touch instantly with the people you care about via voice, text, or video - it's up to you. Talk real time with free PC-to-PC calling. You can even see eye-to-eye with live, full-screen (640x480) video.*

Take it on the road.
See a little mobile phone icon next to a friend's name? Click it to send a text message directly to their phone.

Control your visibility.
Busy? Away? Just don't want to talk right now? Choose from a variety of status settings that let you tell others how available you are. You can also use Windows Live Contacts to manage your personal info - who sees it and what they see.
