Hi

Is it possible to get an MSN Messenger application for the N95? I've looked at some of the software listed on here but nothing seems to install?

Thanks

Ad

Ok I've installed it but how do I run it? Theres no icon in the applications menu? Am I missing something?

Thanks

It deffinently not there, I've installed other things which have appeard there. I'll try reinstalling.

I have found that alot of the S60 3rd Ed stuff wont install, keep getting the error "Installation of ****** Not Supported".

Shouldn't all S60 3rd ed apps work with the N95?

Found it !

The install creates a new folder, called internet - like on the N73/N80 etc ..
Shortcut is in there .. you can then move to whereever you like 😊

Cool, thanks! Don't know why I didn't see that earlier!

I take I just start it, then leave it running in the background to pickup messages? (I've never used MSN on a phone before!)

yep thats about it (used it on my 9500) only thing to remember is thats its always 'online' so if your using 3G/GPRS might start to cost .. better to use Wi-Fi 😉

Not a problem for me, Orange have just given me a whole year unlimited date usage free, so I want to make the most of it!

Thanks so much for your help everyone!

Hi installed messenger on my N95 and it worked fine for a couple of weeks. Now, however, when I try to log on it says the service is not available outside Hong Kong, China or Taiwan... Any ideas?

YES on mine MSN nimm is the same! I noticed today!

Mine says the same, I only used it for one day 😞 someone help please... Might try re-installing it but I can bet the same error appears sooner or later...

Its blocked server side, it seems MSN china has caught on and blocked anyone outside china, taiwan or hong kong from using this version. Youll have to get software like QuickIM if you want to use MSN now.

That stinks... Why not just allow it for anyone seeing as though it's freeware... or just bring out one for England, can't be too difficult. Dang.

Oh I was a bit lucky, went back to Agile Messenger instead due to this, and downloaded their client for N95, and vooopah, the fully functioning and paid for version appeared.

Realised that its my same SIM card still from when I bought it AGES ago and it obviously saves the details on the SIM.

And this Agile Messenger for N95 is much better than the free one from hk.

go to your n95 web browser, go to web address:

http://mobile.live.com

go to

MSN Live messenger beta

log in. thats all.

Note: this is an online version of MSN live messenger that works fine from the web browser itself. 😎

I just installed Fring www.fring.com. It supports Skype and MSN. Tried Skype and it works, but have not tried MSN. It is free and uses your existing account.

How much does it cost, I don't mind spending on it, providing it's not too much & worth it 😊

I've just installed Fring on my N95 (Vodafone UK) and the Skype works perfectly. Its very easy to set up. I don't use MSN so I can't comment on that though.
