    Hi,
    I had a quick look in the previous pages but didn't see any mention of this.

    o2 are offering MSN Messenger on iMode for free until June 1st. Could be very handy to have. I'm just wondering, if you use the freebie until June 1st, will they automatically charge you for the subscription the next day? Also, is there any alternative "free" program out there that will allow you to sign on to MSN?

    Not sure if they will automatically begin to charge you the monthly €10 after the free period.

    Go for IM+ or Agile, they cost a bit but it's worth it.
    As a budget choice, Mig33, it's free! :)

    Are the ones you mentioned workable on phones now yeah? See I'm not sure, what's the story with the MSN thing, do you pay the tenner and then imode charges too or does the sub charge take care of the imode charges? What about the other ones you mentioned? It would just be to talk on msn if I need to, not to do anything else.

    Thanks:)

    Well been using it for the past week, and it is a pay your tenner a month and data is free when using msn. To be honest its good when it works, which is not often! And will murder your battery if you leave it on. Nice idea, shame the way it works. Not worth the tenner a month. Thats my 2 cents....... ;)

    I am told that you can safely switch it off but stay online. When somebody messages you, you will than receive an "imail" notification within a few seconds letting you know so you can log in and reply/chat away. :)

    So how much will it cost to spend say, 10 hours a month using and how much would the free ones cost to be connected to?

    Is that including iMode connection time? See I'm really unfamiliar with imode, but would it not cost to beconnected the same way it would cost to browse to a website?

    Yeah it includes the time spent online. So it will come up on your bill as GPRS connection, 0.00 euro. The amount of data moved is small anyway, but from what i can see thats how it works. Give it a go as i said before, i can't see a use as such for it, unless your phone has full size keyboard. ( an xda might work well with it) And also the fact you need a imode phone not a lot of them really....
