Guest tsutton Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 I have digg'ed it http://www.digg.com/microsoft/Windows_Live...y_trial_prompts
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Same message on Touch Dual on T-Mo. P
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Tony - you should clarify the text of the Digg by stating ON WINDOWS MOBILE. P
Guest Kimbie Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 So whats the alternative IM clients that can log into the MS system? Kimbie
Guest mstephenson Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 rumours elsewhere say two euros a month... I'd probably pay this in fairness, £1.50 a month isn't too bad (guess it all depends on how much you use Windows Live though. As a daily user, 5p a day isn't much). Certainly wouldn't pay more than £3 for it though. That said, this service should be free. Hoping I haven't given any Microsoft people justification for charging now I've said i'd pay £1.50 :(
Guest Monolithix Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Tony - you should clarify the text of the Digg by stating ON WINDOWS MOBILE. P On all Mobile versions of WLM you mean (looks at post #24 :( )
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 I've just logged into http://billing.microsoft.com/ to look at my services, apparently my XBox Live gold account is the only thing I have. Nothing there about a 30day trial for Windows Live etc. I wonder whats going on, we need official MS word on this. Someone (Paul?) should put word of this out to some other sites (engadget/gizmodo) and see what kind of experience people are having elsewhere. Just an idea... Already started the get-the-official-ms-line ball rolling :( P
Guest tsutton Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Tony - you should clarify the text of the Digg by stating ON WINDOWS MOBILE. P I can't find a way to edit it, so I have posted a comment on it. /me looked at Digg's help content. Edit - found it - have to e-mail the support to edit it. Edited January 9, 2008 by tsutton
Guest Monolithix Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Maybe it is a massive mistake then? :s
Guest RazorD Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Tony - you should clarify the text of the Digg by stating ON WINDOWS MOBILE. P Happening on Symbian too, Paul! :(

Hoping I haven't given any Microsoft people justification for charging now I've said i'd pay £1.50 :D No way I'd pay for it, out of sheer principle. Pay a subcription for the software, then pay more to my network to use it :( for the same reason I wont have Sky TV in my house, subscription charge, ads, pay-per-views, come on enoughs enough, but I digress :D
Guest tsutton Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Email sent to add "Mobile" in it - hope they will do it quick. :( In my defense, title was copied from the subject line of this post.
Guest Neil5459 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Happening on my Ameo/Orange so seems to be across the board :(
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Here's hoping it's a mistake and they flicked a switch they shouldn't have? Not overly optimistic tho! P
Guest RiCoCheT Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Just tried and get no issues. o2 XDA Graphite, WM6 Rom UK_v3.40_XB_070711 Would try on SPV C600 but Orange seems to have major network issues in Nottingham area at the moment, no network coverage for around 2 hours.

Guest jimbouk Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 With free IM clients that provide pretty much the same, I wouldn't pay on principle. Its not like the m6 toll that I will pay for as it provides a unique service.,
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Note this happens when you sign in to messenger, not when you run the WLM client. P
Guest tsutton Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Note this happens when you sign in to messenger, not when you run the WLM client. P I've signed off and on but don't see it. I even rebooted the phone and signed in, still don't see it. In Messenger, go to Menu -> Windows Live -> Menu -> About Mine shows 10.6.0030.2100 What's yours?
Guest Syphon Filter Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Also, once that message has been ok'd (which is THE ONLY option presented) you will not see the message or any other notification again. It just seems to work as normal.

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Yeah, it does seem to disappear as soon as you touch anything on the device. Sneaky :( P

Guest Monolithix Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 You have a newer build than mine: 10.6.0028.1100...
Guest Syphon Filter Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 But I didn't OK'ed anything. it disappeared when the phone went into sleep. Exactly the same thing for me. Phone went sleep as i was typing up the message it was display. Hit the power button to bring it back and it was gone. Never to be seen again!! :(
