Setting up IM

[NAVVARR]

I've just updated to V20 and i see that there is a setting for Instant Messenger.
I'd used IM before on my N95 but only through a web bases browser- to access my Hotmail account and send and receive IM's.

How do i set up IM on my phone using this application?- the part i'm stuck with is where it askes for 'web address' -all the other settings seem to be self explanitory.

Cheers for any help and advice.

I would just use fring as you need one of the wirelessvillage servers which are slow and have huge downtime they have like a 30 second delay in sending and recieving messages.

Im at work -so i didn't download 'fring' although i had a look and it looks quite interesting.


I did however download Microsoft's IM from the phone's menu and it mentions a 30 day trial- does anyone know if i'll get charged after the 30 days are up??

maybe i'll be better just getting fring when i get home!

its 1.50 a month fring is free and can be used to make skype calls :)

I've tried Fring and it works well on my home's WIFI router- but for some reason Walk'n'Web thought T-mobile doesn't seem to let it work.

Anyone got a solution or a workaround.


As for 'slick' -can't seem to get it at all- anyone got a link to it??

I did download an SIS file but my phone won't let me install it for some reason.

It still wont probably work T-Mobile from a week ago blocked IM ports on t-zones and the basic web n walk package
