Pay for MSN Messenger?

I'm thinking of picking up the Pre, but my provider is charging $5/mo for MSN Messenger. Is there any way I can download and use it without getting charged this ridiculous fee?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Bell)

The Pre does not have MSN messenger. The three messing programs it supports are Google talk, yahoo and AOL. If a developer makes an MSN messenger application then yes you can use that over your carriers.

E71 Built-in IM settings for MSN Messenger

I want to use the built-in IM for my nokia e71, but I don't know the settings for MSN Messenger. I'm missing the
Web Address:
I've found the settings for Yahoo Messenger, and I do have a MSN Messenger installed and working on my phone, so please don't suggest me some other programs to install for using msn messenger. I'm only looking for the "IM Settings"
Thank you..

This works for yahoo.
Create new server with these settings
server name     Whatever you want, I used Yahoo!
acess point in use     T-ZONES/T-MOBILE INTERNET if you have internet plan and you need to be connected all day, you can also use wifi
web address     imps.msg.yahoo.com like I said, I have used this before and always had problems with it up until a few days ago when it started working fine
user name   whatever yahoo id you have
password    to match your yahoo idwell hopefully you can use these settings. Some may think

Dual screen imac uses wrong inbuilt webcam for msn messenger video chat.

I have an imac and apple display set up, using msn messenger the webcam built into the apple cinema display is used not the imac webcam itself, can I change this so the webcam built into the new imac is used, thanks.

Your info shows you are using some "Other OS". If that is Windows, Linux, etc., I cannot help you. However, if you are using some version of Mac OS X and your system info merely needs updating, keep reading.
It has been several years since I tested msn messenger for Mac (MMM) , and I no longer use it. However, one of the following ideas should get things working unless MMM is written to prohibit selection of alternate cameras.
(1) Launch MMM and check its Help menu item. If MMM's Help on your Mac does not answer your question, check MMM's web support: http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/en-us/messenger/
(2) If nothing in Help or Support gets things sorted, you may be able to use the trick from ¶ 4 of http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302781 to force MMM to choose the webcam built into the new imac:
• Connect and power on all devices. • Quit MMM if it is running. • Launch any app with a user-selectable camera "Preferences..."
menu command. (The "tip" suggests that you use iChat,
but others like Photo Booth, iMovie, etc., may work, too.) • Open "Preferences..." and set the camera "Preference" to use
the display iSight. • Now launch MMM. MMM should now use the iMac's inbuilt
iSight because your display camera is in use by the other
application.

IM+ app, will I be charged for MSN messenger by my operator O2?

I am using the IM+ to use the MSN messenger, does anyone know if O2 will charge me for this or whether it comes under my free internet usage?
P.S. Does anyone know the link to post suggetions to apple re the iphone?

No, IMs send via IM+ (or any of the other chat apps) use data, not SMS. Therefore, there is no charge other than for the data (which is unlimited for your plan).
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

MSN Messenger inaccessible ?

As of yesterday I can't access MSN with either Messenger 6.0.3, 7.0.0 or Adium 1.2.3. For the last couple of years there has been no problem (I have to use it to contact the nieces on the other side of the world, so it's important to me) but as of yesterday morning I can't get logged in.
Nor can I get to the Messenger webpage (go to msn.com and hit the link near top left), nor can I telnet messenger.msn.com 6901 and nor can a friend in California - I'm on Vancouver Island in BC, Canada. The only error message I get is the lame oone about unable to connect, or you must not be online etc. I can't see anything in the Console logs either.
Can anyone else actually login for MSN messenger?
Any suggestions? (aside from don't use it - see above)
I did think that connecting up my timecapsule might have caused the problem but reconnecting everything as it was prior to that makes no difference.
The network setup is:-
Telus HighSpeed DSL (speedtest says 2800kbps/700kbps) to a 2Wire 2700 modem/router with the wireless turned off, then to the TC with wireless turned on and acting as bridge. Skype, iChat etc all work perfectly well.

It seems that it was the TimeCapsule somehow.
We also discovered that some websites were suddenly very slow to load. Looking at the Activity window for Safari showed that pretty much any content coming from an advert related site (doubleclick.net etc) would fail to connect and so the page was waiting (usually) until the timeout registered. How this could happen is anyone's guess!
This afternoon I tried taking the TC completely out of the picture and all of a sudden I had MSN access and fast webpages. Then I had to reset the TC to only be a backup connected by ethernet
This really seems very strange. How on earth could using the TC wifi
a) block advert site content so totally
b) do so even for one of the machine not using wifi but actually ethernet wired to the 2Wire modem/router and so completely (I thought) ignoring the TC
c) block MSN

MSN messenger always has me update and then closes sporatically...help!

can anyone help?

Hi Missy,
You've reached the AppleWorks forum, a space for discussion of issues and 'how tos' concerning the Apple productivity application AppleWorks, not a forum for the general topic of 'how Apple computers work.'
As your issue concerns MSN Messenger, a Microsoft product, you'll have a better chance of finding a solution in a forum (or 'newsgroup'—the term MS uses) for MSN Messenger at Microsoft's Mactopia site. The link will take you to the Messenger page at MS. There's are articles about Messenger and links to downloads. The Community link on the left will take you to the Newsgroups, one of which deals with Messenger:Mac. There's no newsgroup listed for MSN Messenger through.
As your issue may also include the interaction between Messenger and the Mac OS, you might try posting in the Apple Discussions forum for the version of the OS you are using, but I'd check out the MS newsgroups first.
Regards,
Barry

HELP!!!! MSN Messenger Virus- how do I get rid of it????

Hi all,

http://ginajones123.imgfriendz.com:6478
I've looked on the net and there is only info on how to stop this on a PC, no info about macs. If anyone could help me that would be much appreciated - it's driving me CRAZY
Thanks

HI Gina and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Since you run MSN Messenger on your Mac you are vulnerable to trojan horse apps and virus. You might want use an anti-virus program like this: http://www.clamxav.com/
MSN Messenger is after all a Microsoft product.
Do a Google search for: MSN Messenger for Mac and virus problems and check out the hits.

Hacker virus for msn hotmail

hi iam can"t working but iam not know that how make
spam or hacker or virus for msn messenger and hotmail./
iam problem to hotmail pls help to me. i tell u iam deaf and blind

Don't get carried away by offers.
Spam, viruses doesn't affect macbook. It's all for windows.
But world is still progressing, have some free like sophos antivirus etc as a check up for drives to be used with microsoft.
Viruses doesn't affects macbook doesn't means that it will destroy it.
Check email from mac app '''mail''' for better junk filter.

MSN Messenger uses wrong inbuilt webcam for video chat on triple screen set up. It uses a cinema display webcam not the iMac webcam.

For some strange reason if i attach my 2 apple cinema displays to my iMac to make a triple screen set up msn messenger video chat does work but it uses the apple cinema display inbuilt webcam and not the iMac webcam. Its annoying as i have to turn sideways to get into the video call view.
So i have a set up like this: an apple cinema display thunderbolt, then in the middle an iMac new then to the right of the iMac another apple thunderbolt cinema display. WWhen i use MSN messenger to make a video call it uses the inbuilt webcam on the far right apple thunderbolt cinema display and not the inbuilt webcam in the iMac in front of me, its annoying any ideas please.
If i unplug both side cinema displays MSN messenger uses the inbuilt camera on the iMac like normal but when i use extra screens it uses the webcam built into those and not the iMacs webcam.

I would try with another client like skype or something
and if it's only msn messanger which have the problem it may
be more of a question for ms's forum?
