Hi

I have got a nokia n95 and i was looking on three and it said "Windows Live Messenger is free whether you are on Pay Monthly or if you're with Pay As You Go. You just need a compatible phone. See terms and conditions for more details"

If i put my 3 mobile broadband sim in would it work the same as a mobile contract but i wouldnt call just the internet/windows live messenger? As i have no allowance left

I don't think it's free anyway - mine worked for a month then said I had to pay to continue to use it.

£1.50 for 30 days. Not too bad I suppose, but I wouldn't use it enough to warrant it.

I don't understand why ? Surely if it is free on pay as you go, then windows live should work without any credit ?

You will be able to browse the web using the SIM from a mobile broadband contact - probably not windows live though. It wouldn't let me download it when I tried accessing the three windows live download site from my mobile broadband sim.

This MAY be the case on other networks, but there is no charge, ever, for Windows Live Messenger on 3 - there never has been.

Just make sure you download the Application direct from 3 and not some other site.

There is a WLM app that does charge after a trail period - but 3 don't provide that.

The new version of WLM messenger on 3 (Version 5, I think) is excellent.

My mistake - I was using the messenger app that was already installed on my nokia E71 - didn't realise I needed to download 3's version...
