Why won't AIM let people send my phone texts?

I know it is possible to text someone's phone from AIM, because when i lost my phone I did that with my friends until I got a new one.

Well, a friend lost his phone today, and I said if he couldn't get me on AIM, to just send a text to my phone.

He told me he tried and got a message saying "number is unable to receive offline IMs"

So I thought maybe he was doing it wrong, and I tried, I also got the same message.

I made sure my phone was registered through AIM, and allowed messages to my phone. It does!!

So I wanted to know why i can't receive the texts, I have unlimited text and messaging on my phone and have Verizon.
