As you may have seen 3-UK have not removed the IMPS (instant message presence service) client on the K800i, it's called My Friends inside the Messages menu, this IMPS client uses an open standard supported by Sony Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola - but operators tend to remove it from the menus.

All you need is a free proxy IMPS server to connect to MSN and there just happens to be one, Smart VAS. Below is how to set up MSN access on the K800i and it can probably be adapted for other 3 phones that may have the IMPS client still available. If not Smart VAS offer a Java client for download.

This is all FREE! Apart from data charges on 3-UK.

Register with Smart VAS
===============
1. Just register on http://www.smartvas.com
2. Log in on http://www.smartvas.com
3. Select Edit Profile
4. Set your msn username / password
5. Click Edit Profile at bottom of page to save changes.
6. Select MSN Buddies Selection
7. Select your contacts to be shown on your phone as long contact lists don't display on the phone.

Phone Setup (K800i)
=============
Messages > My Friends > Contacts (tab) > More > Settings > Server Settings > Select > then as below....

1. Set username to smartvas login
2. Set password to smartvas login
3. Set server to www.smartvas.com/oma/imps
4. Set internet profile to 3browse locked
5. Select Done.
6. Select Save.
7. Select Log in

Without trying myself, will the same app work on my SE W850i too, as it uses the same format software as the K800i if I remember correctly?

I understand it's also 3Mobiles only?

Thanks,

Pete.
