Mobile Access To MSN Messenger

[Mike Temporale]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.phonefox.com' target='_blank'>http://www.phonefox.com</a><br /><br /></div>I was reading this story on <a href="http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?ContentId=3099">GeekZone</a> about how Microsoft is working on a web based version of MSN Messenger. A web based version is of great interest to me, as many of my clients have blocked access to MSN Messenger. :( I did a little 'Googling' and found the two sites that are mentioned in the article, unfortunately, they have already been blocked by my client, but that took me to another site called <a href="http://www.phonefox.com">PhoneFox - eMessenger</a>. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20040729-PhoneFox-Emessenger.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br /> These guys are offering a web, mobile, and WAP based access to MSN Messenger, for FREE! I'm using the web based access right now. Have any of you heard of these guys, or tried using their <a href="http://start.e-messenger.net/mobile">mobile</a> version? I would love to hear what others think about this. Especially the mobile version. :D

Someone just asked me today if there was an "AIM-Express" type of web app for MSN Messenger, because we are blocked at work from using Messenger. I thought there wasnt until I read your article. I wanted to try it out but their servers seem to be down at the moment.

This should be a cool solution for us at work who are looking for this functionality...which is extremely valuable, even if our IT department doesnt want to agree.

An other service : http://i.mimessenger.com

I think it's the better website because it's an imode service so it's very light

I just don't trust a 3rd party web based MSN messenger service with my .NET Passport login credentials. :| I would rather just wait for MSN to launch http://webmessenger.msn.com. :mrgreen:

I agree with Ramin - those sites dont even appear to be SSL'd - https - There is no privacy statement. You are nuts to log in through some untrusted site with any ID/Password.

Use at your own risk.
