What's the cheapest way to use this on 3? > What's the cheapest way to use this on 3? Don't 3 have an agreement with MSN? You should have the option of using Windows Live. Otherwise I use http://www.ebuddy.com or http://mob.ebuddy.com from your phone. Naturally, data transfer charges apply.

Naturally, data transfer charges apply. My understanding is that these won't work, unless they run over HTTP. In which case you'll have to pay for data. The official Three client is free to download, use and of any data charges. Shak > My understanding is that these won't work, unless they run over HTTP. In > which case you'll have to pay for data. That's correct - it is a web site. > The official Three client is free to download, use and of any data > charges. Is it absolutely free? That's a bonus!

However the only traffic that is allowed at all depends on Three. So, my own generic MSN client doesn't work. And since I'm not using a Three phone, I can't download theirs. The result? I can't use free MSN, even though they offer it. Shak When I tried messaging my son on his 3 phone using MSN they asked for money to message mobiles. So it may be free if you are on your 3 phone but not for the person you are messaging if they are on their PC. >>> My understanding is that these won't work, unless they run over HTTP.

It sounds as though you tried to send a message to a 'mobile device' using Windows Live Messenger on your PC. If this is the scenario I am thinking of, it would have been delivered as an SMS which is indeed chargeable. Was your son definately 'online' when you tried to send it? If he has registered his phone, he will never be shown as 'offline' as you can send him an SMS.

Yeh - I'm not complaining since I have my Three phone still and it's clear in the terms and conditions that I'm not really allowed to use a non-Three phone. I just think it's barmy of them, since I can't buy anything (music/games) either. This will become more important when they release their x-series stuff too.

SignatureAntz Part of the UKtm family -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com I've got a N73 from 3 and it came advertised with Free MSN for Life. I've been using it for the last 3 weeks now, works great, it loaded the same contacts I can see when I logon from the PC automatically. Mobile MSN is only text based so can't accept any files anyone sends. SignatureGerry (The MOTH) > What's the cheapest way to use this on 3? |
