Does anyone use MSN Live Messenger on 3?
I have bought a 3 sim card and put it in my own phone. Added the £5
month data addon and all seems good except for the official MS Live
Messenger client. IM+ messenger (for MSN and Yahoo) and ProfiMail are
working.
MS messenger gives an error 'Messenger is not available right now.
Please try again later'.
It has been doing this since I first tried, 36 hours ago.

You have the Internet add-on why bother with the crappy MSN client and go
for a multi-messenger application like LCG Slick (www.lonelycatgames.com) or
Fring (www.fring.com)?

Cheers. I use Profimail but did not know they (lonelycatgames) had a
messaging program. Now I am pissed I did not know of this one sooner.
Definitely slick.
I need to use multiple MSN clients and was worried another one might not
work alongside my existing ones. Just tested Slick and it is working
well with IM+ so that is me happy. So long as they do not charge any
subscription when it goes live I will be happy. Prefer to buy a program
outright and detest paying subscriptions.
Live Messenger is now about to be removed from my phone.

I may still ditch 3 as they have been useless. I emailed them again this
morning to remind I had no contact from them and then got a phone call a
bit later. Spent ages on the phone listening the guy suggesting I
reboot, reinstall Live messenger and reboot and loads of other tosh. He
suggested I press a triangle or something to download it. I explained I
have no "triangle" on my phone. He then said he did not realise this
(despite it being stated in my emails) and then said 3 do not guarantee
anything will work if not using their supplied phone. FFS!
