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
I'm looking to save on my international SMS costs - a lot of forums mentioned that I should use the GPRS based clients where you can send SMS around the world for about 4p. However, services like SMSBug use a Java client which I can't seem to install on my Vario...
Are there any alternatives so that I can use SMSBug or similar on my PocketPC?
I also interested to save the cost but how.... :?:
I have used smsbug to send sms to india from the usa. I used the java from the extended rom. If it is not on the vario go to the ftp and download any extended rom and run the cab file with the mms and java on it. then open up the smsbug.jar or smsbug.jad file within the java app and go through the setup. There is also an app on pocketgear or handango where you can use smsbug. i forgot the name of the application but it used to run on pocketPC 2003se. do a search for sms gprs or smsbug on both of those sites and the app should come up. You have to pay for the app but it does have a free trial.
here is the link:

Thanks for the info guys... just signed up and installed on my prophet...
Testing with the free 5 Credits....
Looks very promising, as i have been using over wifi, and I've got wifi at home and work,
Bits of this post have popped up elsewhere on the forum but have never (AFAIK) been fully addressed.
I am using a Wizard running on the T-Mobile network. I am subscribed to their "Total Internet" service courtesy of my employer and use the T-Mobile My-Email service to keep an eye on my personal emails.
The reason for this post is last week I upgraded to a new ROM which was primarily built for the Cingular network. I chose not to install the extended ROM but instead applied a number of cabs that I have written / collected that keep my phone working and looking like my phone...However I forgot to install the cab to configure the T-mo email client. - This got me thinking, how do I use the stock push email functionality within WM5? The icon is there in Connection Manager but it is disabled. I have looked on the internet for other push email solutions but they all rely on their own PPC client. Nothing that I have seen appears to use the embedded functionality. Can anybody explain how this push email functionality all hangs together?
I have just upgraded from the HTC Wizard to the TyTN which is an orange branded device I have removed (stopped) the orange customization, but I seem to be missing the MSN part of windows. I've looked on the windows mobile 5 web site, msn web site, but can't find where to down load it. any ideas?
Thanks to all the great information this site has provided I was able to completly open my wizard thanks to this site alone!!!! job well done!!!!
...Isn't msn embedded in wm5, mine is. It's called: pmsnlauncher.exe. I attache one but don't know if it's working standalone...
I just moved from the M2000 to the M3100 today and was dismayed to find no msn messenger pre-installed.
Seemingly it will not let me install Agile Messenger either, as it says that it is not supported.
I have discovered a link in the files which takes you to msn Mobile but then tries to charge you 10.99 to install it. Is there anyway around this, as I use msn a lot whilst travelling, yet loathed to paying for something I expected for free.
Any help?

You need to app-unlock the 3100 before you can install Agile. Once you've done that, it works fine.
To app unlock it, use a registry editor to set the following registry keys (these are decimal values, use 1 and 40 if you're inputing them in hex):
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 64
For some reason people haven't had much success with other registry editors, so I would recommend Resco's, which I can vouch for through experience.
Yep - installed it on my M3100 today.
Here's a link on how to do it:
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news2266.html
Follow the instructions exactly:
1) Download and install the WM2002 client
2) Download and install the WM2003 update
presto it works!
I managed to get a pre-registered Pocket MSN by copying files over from my dusty old HP I don't use anymore.
Files copied:
pmsnshared.dll
pmsnserver.exe
pmsnresources.dll
pmsnresources.96.dll
pmsnlauncher.exe
pmsnhotmail.dll
pmsn.lnk
pmsn.cpl
Needed to remove the system file attribute to copy it over though. I guess this is helpful if you have a copy of a pre-installed Pocket MSN lying around that you don't use anymore!
If the admins believe this isn't legal, feel free to delete!
Or just go here and download and install it normally.....

Yeah, but if you use this link you have to pay £10.99 to use a program that everyone uses for free...

Hi All,
I downloaded Mobile Live and Messenger from this forum, and was able to install it on my Orange M3100. I then hook up my M3100 to my work wifi. I then run Live, and comes up saying "looking for internet connection" It then comes up with the bubble saying connecting to 3G, which I then hit cancel. It then seems to use the wifi connection the syncronise. Also when using it it, the 3G connection bubble appears regularly, and I have to cancel it. Is there any way I can stop Windows Live and messenger using the 3G service, and just WiFi?
thank
Nick

am actually after the hotmail part of the program than the other bits. i copied all the above files from my m5000 to the m3100 when you click on pmsnluncher nothing happens. what am i doing wrong. please note there are other solutions to get msn messager working, but this dosn't include the hotmail setup. ..help
That guy is missing a few files there, just to let you know.
oh great !!!!!!!!!
can't wait for the beta fto end to i can't get the damm thing.
oh by the way you wouldn't know what the other files are would you?
Windows Live Messenger Mobile is still down, with no end in sight. I really haven't had a chance to look at the newsgroups lately to find out what's going on, but I guess I'll have to.
at least i can give Yahoo Go some credit here, thier ppc client program works pecfectlyon my m3100 collecting all my yahoo emails.. let just hope google follow suite with a client version for picking up emails on the ppc.
Gmail supports pop / smtp access, and uses non-standard ports, so you can use pocket outlook to retrieve / send emails on it without problems.
hello,
i was wondering if there are any IM free apps for tmo wing, the oz messenger is horrible i think, its very slow, i get like 10 minutes delays between my messages. I was wondering if there are any AIM programs out there that use only sms? with out going online if thats possible , i dont rle know much about phones and stuff, or maybe a different program thats maybe faster or somehow better then the OZ messenger. thx in advance

You will love it.
My favorite IM program is Palringo. http://www.palringo.com
It connects to everything. It doesn't use up that much memory. It plays nicely if you want it to run all the time. You have to sign up with them, but I've gotten 0 emails from them and they work on the concept of freeware. Check it out.
i'm trying palringo, it seems like it will be nice, but it will not let me sign on to AIM. it says that i have been connecting and disconnecting too frequently. but i have never even signed on. every time i click on AIM then change my status to online it says logging in then that i've been connecting and disconnecting too frequently. any suggestions?
keep trying.. after 3 or 4 attempts, it should connect
palringo requires you to have a browser connection to be online.
sooo
does the free aim program on the wing run from the wifi network... or does it charge u on the edge network?? because i was using webmessenger on the wifi i think and wasnt sure if it was actually usuing it on the edge network... and i really dont wanna be charged for the edge network so can i jus use wifi whenever i wanna use aol instant messenger with a free program downloaded to my wing.. ?
u dnt get charge for edge unless you u have a data plan. dnt listen to tmobile. their internet is not like other networks pay-for-use instead it get a data plan or get dnt get sh!t. i recommend getting tzones 5.99 dnt worry wat tmobile say about it (than i help you set it up so u can use it with the best software like im+ & aim 2.0 "offical aol software") pm me
i posted this but someone took it down what i said before is the OZ im suite that comes with the tmobile wing you can find it in the .cabs for wing thread i think just reinstall that .cab i use it for aim alone. it also offers icq and yahoo but i prefer to just use the text version of yahoo... All over a gprs connection which means no added charges ( if you have unlimited texts that is )
