Default MSN Messenger "Mobile" displays next to screen name

Please Login to Remove!

Hi,

I'm a new user......I have the BB Curve 8900

Is there any way to remove the "(Mobile)" indication that displays next to your MSN Messenger Name, i.e., "MYNAME (Mobile)"? I don't want to exactly announce I'm on my Mobile when I sign on to messenger. I couldn't find the setting to turn this off.

And it can't be done. Only way is to not login on your mobile.

They probably did it so your friends will know your on a mobile, which may charge you each message, and not spam you.
