Aww well msn is still at it, I have been advised to use Skype by a few mates,


Anyone got this?

I really have no idea what this service is about, is it free?

Yes its completely free - I know a few on here have used it - I know Helena54 used to use it a lot and Ashlady uses it too sometimes.

Ooo... free is good lol

Can I speak to mates on Msn Messenger on it?

As I doubt alot of friends want to transfare thier accounts just to talk to 'lil old me!

Hmm I don't know about that - I think Skype is a different matter entirely Kye

If I was you I would start a new thread asking about it so that everyone can see it and the people who use it can tell you the ins and outs of it

Oky Dokey will do hun, cheers! x

Let me guess - MSN Messenger Live (The latest version)?

There is quite some heated discussions about this, and I too have been a victim of it. There are a few documented unofficial fixes around the web for it. However, aside from none of them working for me, they are a little too technical, I think, for the average home user who may not be familiar with editing their windows registry.

Nobody is quite sure of the cause, it seems. However, it's very much an issue. My solution? I went back to Messenger 7.5, and it's been problem free.

Skype would depend on you having other friends on Skype. Another alternative is Trillian. Trillian acts as a front-end, if you like, allowing you to speak to friends, whether they are using MSN, Yahoo, or a couple of others that I can't remember.

There is a free version, which is actually very good. You enter your MSN details, Yahoo details, if you have Yahoo, etc, and all of your contacts from both services appear in one list. All very civilised.

Think I'll have a nosey at that... nice one

MSN has been bit norty lately

It's worth a go, if only to see if it suits you. I personally love it, as it means I don't have to have several different Messengers loaded.

Messengers it supports: AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC.

Er I don't really think its msn that is 'norty' Ian
