Default MSN Messenger from Blackberry on T-mobile UK

Please Login to Remove!

Hi,

Finally Blackberry have released MSN Messenger on there site that I can infact download on my phone. Previously it would give me an error that my device was not supported.

Now that I i've successfully installed it, it won't work. It just tries connecting for ages and then says:

Connection Error (65): Problem receiving data from the Server.

Tried asking T-Mobile (UK) Customer services, but they are stupid and refuse to help as its nothing to do with them and I haven't been able to get through to technical support, was on hold for an hour and then got cut off.

I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem ???

At the moment I'm not sure if its a MSN Problem or T-Mobile might have some ports blocked or application restrictions

Thanks for your help.

Spoke to T-Mobile Technical support. They claim they don't block any ports on their network.

Would be interesting to know if anyone else has this problem ?

Same here, T-mobile UK, it's just says service is not supported all together.

Installed ok. Got some service books from BGR, if I recall correctly. Just sits there trying to connect, and displays an error 65. I've not read of anyone able to fix that, sadly.

I think it's a service book issue. T-Mobile UK don't send out any WLM service books. And though they may indeed not block ports on the general GPRS APN, I suspect this service runs over the the BB APN, which is controlled by RIM/the operator. I've also read that there has to be a 'deal' between each operator in each country with Microsoft before the service can be "switched on".

Still looking for a workaround...

I had previously been getting the same error messages as everyone has. I have just been on the phone with T-Mobile UK, asking why my Windows Live Messenger wont work... and they informed me that I would have to upgrade my service to Web 'n' Walk PLUS (for an extra £5 a month) to make it work.

When I asked about the benefits of web 'n' walk plus, the girl had to transfer me to the technical team (which wasn't reassuring), and they explained to me that it gave me a higher data fair useage policy (3GB instead of 1GB), video downloads, and I can also use my Blackberry as a mobile modem for my laptop...

not sure how it will work, but I have signed up to it for a month to see... the mobile broadband might come in handy.

When I spoke to T-Mobile customer service a few days ago they pleaded ignorance. I have an inside contact who's chasing this issue for me. I'll report back if I can get it working.

Well, I'm still not on W+W plus, but have extra service books and a new error message, so something's happening.

Now I get the "Connection Error (65): Problem receiving data from the Server." with the service books from TM-UK

Default Windows Live Messenger on T-Mobile UK

Hello

I'm using a BlackBerry Curve and am a pre-pay customer with T-Mobile UK.
I don't have a Windows Live Messenger icon on my BlackBerry.

My friend's got a pay-contract SIM and is now using Windows Live Messenger on his T-Mobile BlackBerry.

I called T-Mobile and they told me that the Windows Live Messenger service is only available for pay-contract and BES customers. Not for Pay-As-You-Go customers.


Was anyone in this forum successful in using Windows Live Messenger on their T-Mobile UK BlackBerry?
If so - can you please share a) which BlackBerry? b) are you pay-as-you-go or pay monthly? c) is it working well?

Thank you
Andy

Not working and I'm on a contract.

> they informed me that I would have to upgrade my service to Web 'n' Walk PLUS

I'd be surprised

> they told me that the Windows Live Messenger service is only available
> for pay-contract and BES customers

Maybe

I'm not sure they know themselves at the moment!

> My friend's got a pay-contract SIM and is now using Windows Live Messenger
> on his T-Mobile BlackBerry

There is hope for the rest of us then!

I havent had time to chase up T-Mobile in regards to this, as it is still not working. Hope to do so by the end of the week.

Got it working now . There's an extra service book you need sending that TM-UK need to provision for you if you don't get it automatically.

lil_ray_man, I def don't have Web 'n' Walk Plus (only Web 'n' Walk)

Just spoke to t-mobile. They refuse to aknowledge that there are any service books that are for msn messenger or that can help me.

Got them to resend service books, but I've still got the same problem.

Can you assist with who you spoke to or further technical information ? T-mobile are of NO help what's so ever !
