Windows live messenger on Blackberry on Rogers

Finally it is working!

It’s an unlocked t-mobile Blackberry 8320 Curve on Rogers network. And it is my second personal Blackberry (owned 8100 before).

Windows live messenger was pre-loaded on this t-mobile’s curve. But it never worked. It failed to connect to the server. The guess was Rogers didn’t have the service books for it yet.

Here’s what I did this time:

Connect your BB with your computer.
Use Internet Explorer, goto wlm.
Follow the steps to load Windows Live Messenger 2.0 onto your blackberry. (You may be prompted to install some activeX control for the loading)

And that’s it!

If it is still not working for you after the above steps, I suggest you take a look at your service book options. It should have something like WLM 2.1 [BBIM], Windows Live [BBIMConfig]. You can try to re-send service books from Rogers BIS.

My Curve is running OS 4.5.0.52.
