Mobile MSN

Skint? Out of batteries? No problem. Add to your MSN list: I finally have got Sony Ericsson's "My Friends" instant messenger working on my (W810i) phone using my regular GPRS settings and a Smart VAS account (will try Yamigo another time). Wicked. This feature definitely beats having to use the WAP interface for eBuddy.com because it runs in the background and interacts with the regular event/alert functions of the phone, while having an optimised interface (T9-enabled) that simply means chat and click instead of having to enter form inputs and submitting them separately.
Rob's a happy mobile user tonight. IMPS rules!

Might give it a try but I doubt it's going to beat integration with the phone when it comes to alerts and being idle (you can't close the browser and stay on-line, unlike My Friends).

I've tried to login on Yamigo and SmartVAS but it doesn't work and I'm wondering if it comes from the phone configuration or if their server is down.
Please could you confirm that one of this service is currently up ? Thanks.

Ebuddy is going to release a beta of a new mobile application. The version is going beta tommorrow, and yes this version runs in the background, will drasticly reduce the bytes transfer (==operator costs).
If you'd like to try this verion, let me know.
