Messenger & WAP

[AzamSaghir]

Is Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger accessible via WAP on a mobile?
If so, what is the link?

I have WAP on my mobile and I predominantly wish to find out which of my
contacts are online.

Thanks

Azam

Greetings Azam,

See here:

You can also access it via SMS:

I have checked everywhere on that website and I do not think MSN Messenger
on WAP is possible for me. I reside in the UK and my mobile is connected to
the Orange network which charges for receiving an SMS from MSN Mobile.

I do not want to incur SMS charges when I have already paid for a WAP/GPRS
service connection.

Maybe Yahoo Messenger is the cheaper option when it comes to WAP
connectivity.

Thanks
Azam

Hi Azam,

Try going to http://mobile.msn.com from your phone's browser -- I believe you should see
something different then if you're using a PC.

Yes of course you are always right. Sorry for overlooking...

Cheers

Hi Azam,

No problem =). I should have been more clear with my original answer (although to be honest,
I don't own a WAP capable phone, so it might've changed since I last saw it).
