MSN on Vodafone n95

Saaf_laandon_mo · 13-11-2008, 15:19

I am trying to get msn working on my N95 8gb phone. I'm with vodafone and have unlimited internet use. Everytime i try to use msn either through the phone's wifi or the internet, I get the message "Cannot connect to service, this maybe due to incorrect settings or roaming restrictions."

Has anyone had this happen? Do I need to contact voda customer services?

How did you get msn on there, was it from the Vodafone site or from Nokia?

to be honest, you'd be better off installing Fring. You get alot more features

The thing with msn on the N95 is it tends to work better if it comes from the Nokia website.

I was preinstalled in the applications menu. Its msn live messenger. I have heard of Fring. Does that allow the phone to be used as a skype phone too?

along with using msn voice chat also

So I assume if I install it on my phone I can basically contact all my msn contacts as per normal. Would it still work with my hotmail address or do I then need to tell everyone to update their messenger with a new email for me, i.e. mo@fring.com?

Will my normal msn id still work?

you sign in as with your normal MSN id, and you see all your contacts as normal
