Instant Messaging for WM6 on 8525
Nov 18 2007, 9:22 PM EST
Here is how you Officially Get Live Messenger, AIM, and Yahoo Messenger for WM6!
1. On your 8525 Go to At&t Media Net's home (Programs>Internet Explorer>Favorites>Media Net)
2. Under Categories click on "Mail & Messaging"
3. Under Accounts click on "Mobile IM" - When you do this Your 8525 will prompt you for permission to download a 589KB file called "Mobile_IM_HTC8525_4.1.2CAB" - Make sure you check mark the "open file after download" box then click YES.
4. Once the file downloaded it will ask you for permission to install the CAB file and the location to install it. Choose your "device" as the location and "install"
5. Once the CAB installs you will have "Instant Messaging" under your programs. When you choose it you will notice you have all three Messenger services.
It is all FREE and OFFICIAL from AT&T!!!
Enjoy :-)

If this is the OZ IM client that works with windows messenger, AOL Instant Messanger and Yahoo Messenger, then you have to be careful with this messaging client. It does not work over wi-fi. It SMS texting to work. Soooo, every message you send and receive counts as one text message. This could either cost you a lot or use up your text messages. The other option is to actually get the real Windows Live Messenger for Windows Mobile devices. It will work over wi-fi or AT&T's data network. I have installed this on both my Tilt and my 8525 with the WM6 upgrade and works fine. Here is the link to the CAB file:

Let me know if you run into any problems.

My phone had it pre-installed but everytime I try to sign on, it denies me access. It keeps telling me "Invalid screen name or password. Remember, password is case sensitive." This doesnt make sense. I'm able to sign on from my computer - why not my tilt? Any ideas? Do you find this valuable?
