Anyone ever SMS over ICQ successfully / SMS at all?

With a bit of idle time for myself today I'm trying to figure out how to SMS myself ringtones from Nextones. It seems fairly straightforward...enter in your phone model (Nokia 8390), enter in your mobile phone # (647-471-4402) and off to the races you go. But it didn't work.

It figures that the next thing I should try doing is send myself a message over ICQ and see if I get that. ICQ says my cell provider is supported, but on send I immediately get a message saying "The Cellular network is currently unable to send your message to the recipient. Please try again later."

What gives? Did this feature ever work or am I doing something wrong? Answers, please! :)

I have used SMS successfully with ICQ several times, although there have also been times when it hasn't worked at all.
IMO if you want to send a reliable text just do it from your phone.
