Hi,
I tried the O2 Pay and Go Web Bolt On and found out that Windows Live Messenger doesn't work with O2 GPRS. I am now thinking about switching to Three.co.uk as they have 3G. Just wondering, is it possible to sign into Live Messenger with Three.co.uk Pay As You Go or have they also blocked that service?
Thanks!
Just bought the SIM card and tried it out myself. Everything seems to work, Messenger, Windows Live, Outlook, and even VoIP. All of that for just 5 pounds/month. So much better than O2!

Hi.
Im getting my Blue Angel (XDA IIi) with my next paycheque. But i really want IM with GPRS. I'm thinking about going dual Sim with a T-mobile card just for the webnwalk plan, because O2 charge stupid prices for WAP (£3 per mb)
But i realised you can't use IM with most GPRS providers because the ports are blocked to stop other forms of non profit making communication. So what about setting up your home pc as a terminal service server, and then using termincal service client to access it and use MSN from there.
I e-mailed T-mobile asking if termincal service client was allowed and here was the (relevent part of) the response:
"Using our webnwalk priceplans you would be able to use the terminal service client on your phone in order to access other pcs. The GPRS usage would come out of your allowance any time that you used this service."
Not having my XDA IIi, i don't know if this would work, so could someone test it please.
is this a good idea or should i have stuff thrown at me for even thinking it?
Thanks.
Erm.......... you can use IM on T-Mobile GPRS... I do most days.
Either the supplied Messenger ir Agile Messenger.. works a treat.
I moved from O2 to T-Mobile cos they had no decent GPRS uage plans.. now I get unlimited.... it's great....

another part of that e-mail:
"In terms of MSN messenger, this would not be allowed as part of the terms and conditions of the priceplan. These state that certain things such as VOIP, Messaging over internet and Internet Streaming are not allowed."
Are you on contract by any chance?
TS
I am not familiar with T-Mobiles Terms / fair usage policy, but it seems strage you can use terminal services and not msn messenger - I would have this checked out!
I know that TS works perfectly on the XDA 2 and above, if that helps.
IM on GPRS
Yes, I'm on contract - not PAYG.
I read T-Mobile's T's & C's, but messaging isn't mentioned.. it contains this guff..
To ensure a high quality of service for all our customers, they are not to be used for other activities such as (but not limited to): modem access for computers, internet based video/audio streaming services, peer to peer file sharing, internet based video download and internet based telephony.
hmm.. modem access - a bit restrictive, but as I can't get the damn thing to connect and dial when used as a modem any more it's not a problem (I wonder if they crippled this in their last ROM upgrade as it worked perfectly before...)

in theory this is possible, but theres no chance of running terminal services/remote desktop from the blueangel over gprs...
the connection is not quick enough.
over wifi its fine but not gprs.
good point
I have done it with wi-fi and 3G - if you are in a 3G area (ha!) you should be OK.
Hi,
Could someone tell me if I could simply put a T-Mobile sim with web and walk tarrif into the trinity or any other non T-Mobile 3g phone and still get free internet access and msn messenger. Or do I specifically have to use their phones with their own version of browsers and messenger.
Need to know this before deciding which network and phone to go for.
Thanks
I have the same question
I have a SPV-M3100, but I don't know how to get connection settings for
T-Mobile Web n Walk service.
I have searched the forum, but no clear result.
Thank you first if anyone can have an idea.
here in the Netherlands you could do that. You should be able to get a sim-only with w&w and put that sim in any unlocked phone. This is not a logical choice here in the Netherlands since we get great deals when combined with a T-mobile branded phone. T-mobile the Netherlands is promoting some nokia phones as well...(N73)
Shouldn't be a problem - I've used my WnW SIM in several WM 3G and non 3G phones. Just set the apn / usrname / password to
GPRS APN address: general.t-mobile.uk
Username : user
Password: wap
and left everything else at default.
Hello,
I have the following issue.
I have an hosted exchange email account,this works with or with proxy server settings for Vodafone Live.No problem!
I have Gmail account(IMAP) this only works without the proxy settings,otherwise it couldn't sync.Problem.
And i need to go to a website(my bank) that needs proxy server setup.Problem.
Conclusion,or i can use a Gmail account on my Touch Pro or going to the banking website and not both.
I am from The Netherlands,Vodafone branded Touch Pro.
Is there a possibility to solve this issue or switch between network with and network without proxy?
Thanks for your help.
i wouldnt recomend online banking over a gprs connection
does your google acount have to be imap if you set the pop forwarding on the google side of things this should work
i sued my vodafone uk tp with my googlemail account no probs
I also can use Gmail with POP3 settings.
The only problem is how to set it up.
Cause when i want to create a new mail account with gmail ,my Touch Pro automatically uses Imap.
How can i change this to Pop?
Thanks
Just disable the proxy... then you can't go to vodafone live website, but you will be able to do everything you want for the rest.
Gewoon die proxy eruitknallen!
Maybe you are right about this,just get rid off the proxy settings.
I also sent a mail to HTC about this,if there is a solution to use both.
U never use the vodafone live... in fact, i have never seen it, so it doesn't bother me at all...
Most of the time i don't use vodafone live.
Just for mobile banking via the Rabobank,this can only by using Vodafone Live(proxy)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can't you just do it directly (without proxy) on the Rabobank website?
No,that's not possible only via Vodafone Live.
Cause Vodafone Live works with proxy settings for security reasons i think.
Nobody else an idea how i can solve this issue?
Thanks
Opera proxy
Better late than never.
My idea is to disable the standard proxy settings for your connection and setting up a proxy in opera.
So that outlook keeps on working with gmail and you still can use vodafone live etc.
Just tried it and it works for me.
Hey,
I have got my hands on a BlackBerry Curve 8320 on the T-mobile network. I was wondering how it would be possible for me to use the instant message feature using the wifi option? I was a previous owner of a T-mobile featured MDA as soon as I was linked to any wireless router I had instant access to any of the instant messengers available. Your ingenius help would be greatly appreciated.....
Thanx,
Kuntars
if you have any messenger apps for blackberry you can use them using wifi.. nothing special about that
Kuntars in need of help
I have all the preloded messenger apps like Yahoo, Aim, Msn, Icq etc. the problem is when I try to sign in the program responds "service not enabled for this handheld" When I called my T-mobile my service provider they as usual try to sell me something by telling me that the only way that I could gain access is by purchasing their data plan for $24.99 monthly charge, the reason I feel that their claim is absured is simply cause I had it running on the MDA as i had explained previously.... Is there perhaps another application I must download, or maybe program the phone in some way???
Unless Blackberry can't use Wifi to connect to the internet by default (which is obviously impossible since blackberry is all about internet), they're lying, and you should be able to connect. it might be that your Messenger application (dunno which one it is for BB) can't use Wifi connection (tho this is unprobable as well)
AFAIK, BlackBerry is all about using data plans, whatever they are called.
But, that can vary from provider to provider regarding pricing/charging.
If you are able to surf on internet trough WiFi on that BB device (sorry, I'm using BB Pearl 8100 which has no WiFi, so can't check), you might want to try BeeJiveIM software. It ain't freeware, but there should be trial version.
You also might want to raise your question in Curve section of PinStack forums.
I am using unlocked fuze with t-mobile service. Because I don't have data plan, I tried to use instant messenger with wifi connections, but it didn't work. The messengers only tried to use the data connection. But I can use wifi to surf website with Opera. Anyone can help?
no one could help?
If it's anything like the factory IM program on the AT&T phones it uses your SMS. So unless you have a high text limit or unlimited I would use the factory program. Do some searches on here for IM programs and get a third party one like Palringo.
