Hi there
I bought the T-mobile version of the Universal, previously iu was using a HP4700 and a Nokia 3g phone but just wanted the integrated solution. I am not really interested in the voice capacbilites only the data and messaging side. I was dissapointed to discover that MSN messenger was not included in the T-mobile load , but decided that I would load and pay for the Mobile MSN at £10.99. It would not set up on my existing MSN account and kept giving error 3002 message when i registered on the MS website. There were no error messages on the MDA prop.
In desparation I set up a new Passport account and installed the SW on this with no propblems. But unfortuanetely MS only licence the indiviudal passport to be used with this software and not the MDA machine. So i contaqcted the support guys at MS who have made lots of suggestions and none of these work I still get the Error 3002 on the MS web site everytime I try to register to use my original MSN account. It will not even allow me to pay a second time for this peice of software.
Can anyone help me to get a copy of MSN messenger for the MDA that does not require the crazy MS registration process as I really need the MSN messenger feature and have to leave my MDA pro at home and use the old 3g phone and HP 4715. This obviosly was not the idea behind buying the MDA pro.

I am not sure if your problem is related to mine, but I too wanted to install Pocket MSN on my MDA Pro. However, the activation process failed time and time again with an error message stating that the "e-mail address used to log in" was invalid.
I think Pocket MSN only supports the use of a hotmail-address, instead of a "normal" e-mail address that I use in my MSN/Passport account.
Did you use a "normal" e-mail address as well? If so: Were you able to activate this account on the MSN web site for use with Pocket MSN?
I hope you are wrong

Aha i did not use an MSN account but my own account on my company domain for the initial attempts. Then when i created a new passport i just used a MSN account, and it worked . Then i tried to use the passport from my own domain on the mda pro and it did not work. But no where on the MSN site did it say you had to have an MSN account to use it. It just said you needed a passport. DOes any one know if the bundled versio n with the MDA requires an MSN email address? as the posket MSN on the xda ii or the HP4700 i have were fine with my private email passport?
This is a serious pain. Can microsoft really be this crazy? lots of people use passports with their private email address and not an msn one. I really cannot get my head around having to change about 100 or more contacts I regularly communicate with to a new MSN account.
There must ba another way?
Charlie,
Just to avoid too many threads on this topic: In this thread I have a suggestion for an alternative MSN client that works for me (until MS solves this problem)

my situation is different to yours - I am uing the XDA Exec with the provided MSN software - but for what it's worth, I use msn with a 'regular' email-address Passport.
if there is anything useful that we could compare between the MSN on Execs and yours, feel free to ask away!
Just out of curiosity but is there a way to prevent MSM mobile from showing offline contacts?
I find it really annoying.
Also dont seem to be able to group contacts?
TBH I wouldnt pay for this software there are better shareware options ..
according to o2 you dont need a premium account to use the messenger servce

Every time I try to login to messenger I get
logon to msn messenger service failed because service is not responding
As a test downloaded Agile messenger and it worked first time
Error happens whether I am using usb, gprs or wifi for web access
Skearon,
I get the same problem when using it via GPRS, although Cable and WiFi is fine...
Can I ask a quick question? Are you using a custom email address? i.e. '[email protected]' as your .NET passport? or are you using an actual @hotmail/msn account?
I am using a custom account, *******@*****.me.uk, and this normally causes problems with the MSN protocol (server side applications) the only other way round it for pocket msn would be to create a hotmail account and use that on ur PPC.
Hope that helps a bit?!
Cheers.

Skearon,
I have had the same problem, but cannot force it to happen.
Use a non hotmail adress on MSN.
But Agile seems to be better. And, I have the impression that Agile recovers better when having been without GPRS signal, like an underground.
MSN mostly did not recover and showed the "tap to sign in" so leaving me who knows how long without being on line.

Yes I also get this. It happens frequently but not always, and I've got a hotmail.com email.

Moandal,
Try Agile..... It (still) is for free. I use it day after day.
Don't change its notification sound however. I have the feeling that that may cause it freezing randomly.

My Qtek 9100 was shipped without Pocket MSN. I want to get it back. I've got msn files from Qtek 9090 upgraded to WM5 and I copied them to 9100 but MSN doesn't work. I guess something must be registered etc.
Does anyone know how get it back?
have you try to hard reset? my qtek 9100 reinstalls evrything from scratch then
Yes, I have. There is no any MSN files in Windows folder, no MSN icons in Programs or Settings.
oh oki. try agile messenger i found that one better then microsoft's msn client becuase i don't use a hotmail mail on my msn so no use for the functions that i can use on microsoft msn on the wm5
I use Agile already. But I need MSN messenger, because it allows me to use Hotmail account in Pocket Outlook.
you can purchase it from here, if your that desperate
http://mobile.msn.com/
Excellent! I already paid for device with WM5 and Pocket MSN and have to pay more?.. I guess it's so because another users have it on their devices by default, it is built-in
Hi
can anybody help me in this matter I have a MDA Pro from T Mobile its the same as the Xda Exec but they is no MSN Messanger on the device can someone advice me where I could get a copy from.
Ciao

get a agile messenger. its free and supports msn, yahoo, aim etc. its the best!
gigno, i had the same problem with Vodafone on the v1640. I managed to get them to pay the £10.99 for the download from microsoft by telling them that their competitors (o2 and orange) were including MSN messenger, and that i could have gotten the device from them.
What i would sugest is call T Mobile, and try to get them to credit you the £10.99.
Also, your device is a Universal, not a magician

Free? I don't think so:
"Agile Messenger costs €2.99 per month charged by premium SMS.
You may also purchase Agile Messenger from 2checkout for €19.95 one time." is stated at their download page.
This one is really free:

Read the page again, this time thoroughly. If you have troubles finding the word "free", try to search in the page (Ctrl-F)
The "basic" version is free, the have an enterprise version which has to be licensed.

Yes it is absolutely free when your handheld is connected to internet via bluettoth or wireless. You are only charged €2.99 per month when you connect to internet using your simcard.

"You may use the car free as long as you put no petrol in it" :lol:
Why should I connect to other wireless or bluetooth devices, when I have GPRS in my Magician? To make my life complicated?
This is a major drawback compared to the MSN Messenger and IMOV Messenger.
well i think it depends on how you use it. when im downstairs, i cant bring my pc with me so i connect my magician to be able to know who of my friends are online. when im in bed,my pc is next door so i also use my magician to chat with friends. agile messenger works great for me.. it might not for others.
its everyone's own choice :roll:
messenger
messenger is installed at my magican but it won't connect neither by gprs or bluetooth... keep saying my password or username are wrong... and it isn't i can surf over the internet and it did work ever...
what is wrong about my settings? i also have installed bluesolei to connect with my pc by PAN (it changes a lot in internet)
also agile messenger doesn't work
Hi
Has anyone else had a problem with this
Went to Passport.Net and got a passport from microsoft with my own email address. Installed pocket msn went to activeate it on http:/mobile.msn.com and was told I could not use the passport I had and to go away and get another one it seems that the only passports you can use to buy and activate the program is an hotmail account. Anyone else had this problem.
Yes, the email address you use for a passport account for msnmobile must be a hotmail.com or msn.com account.
Stupid Microsoft
I ve been using MSN Messenger for ages with my own email address all my contacts have that address to use now if I want to use it now I have got to change my email address to a hotmail acc and I do not want one then I have to tell all my contacts the new address stupid
There is a work around to get MSN Messenger without going through the mobile msn stuff. http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news2266.html.
Another workround
I have installed pocket MSN but not activated it. Then installed msn messenger 2002 for pocket pc and upgraded to 2003 have both options on m600 and they both seem to work now.
You have to upgrade to 2003 as 2002 will not work.
Dont know why orange removed it.
Will try to get the I-Mate firmware and see if I can load this on to it as that has pocket msn and no need to activate,
Anyone have a messenger client that will support aim and such so I dont have to pay 30 dollars for im+ etc. I thought it could possibly be built into say WM6 black because I read that windows included it in their WM6 release for the T-Mo dash. If not anyone have a free aim client or a way around paying 20-30$
I found this AIM cab on like a UK AOL site I think, since they stupidly stopped making it in the US. It's kind of old, but it works!
http://rapidshare.com/files/30350469/aim.zip.html
There is also the Cingular one that uses SMS.
To use it, make sure you open PIE or something to get online as it won't automatically connect. When you first start it, go to send an IM, and it will prompt you for login information which it will save once you hit send.
You could also search for a cracked version of one of the commercial messengers. I'm not gonna post a link lol but you can PM if you want.
Just a update, or u could use a reg hack to make the hermes log onto the net everytime u booted the phone up, then u woud'nt have to remember to open Pie up and type a web address in to log onto the net, that's what i used to do but as i use wm6 now and my phone log's onto the net when i swich the phone on as i've got a exchange server setup on the phone. u can get the reg hack for loging onto the net auto by doing a search on xda. there is a free multi messenger program what i used to use called Imov basic u can download it and check out the screenshots from http://soft.softoogle.com/ap/imov-messenger-basic-download-1104.shtml. it's 100% free and works with jabber,google,msn,yahoo,aol & irc
