Thanks for that, just downloading now!

<--- The barcode thing is pretty neat actually. Scan it with your camera and add the person to your messenger!

Ok guys have a problem. I downloaded the GTalk messenger on mom's 8520 and got the 299 pre-paid plan activated on the phone. But the error i get while signing in is that you are not authorised to use this application with your current plan. Anyone facing the same issues? Do i have to make changes in settings, etc.?

Please help me out.

Please also mention which network provider is used when you put such enquiries. Mine is a 299 plan from Vodafone, I never faced any issues with Yahoo, Google, Msn, BB messengers till now right from the time 299 plan was introduced.

Why did you d/l the Gtalk application. Was it not already there in your Instant messaging folder where you find windows live messenger, yahoo messenger, gtalk and BB messenger?

Try the Gtalk from this folder. It should work with the 299 plan ,since they claim it works.

anmolbedi · 9th October 2009, 17:11

@Anil,

Can you check if the EDGE is written in Capital letters on the phone... if its not, then gtalk wont connect on personal plan. You can disable / enable the mobile network from connections for further troubleshooting.

It was not there with the software on the phone. But yes, Gtalk is in the IM folder.

yes, EDGE is there bro, i set up her email accounts online and have been chatting with her via BB messenger. But my sisters in the US don't have BB's (iPhone freaks) and they can chat with mom only via Yahoo Msngr, MSN and Gtalk.

So , MSN and Ymessenger also don't work?

HI Anil, when i got my 8520, the messenger icon's were already there in the IM folder.
On clicking the links on it, it used my WiFi connection and downloaded and installed the messengers. I have since been able to use all messengers perfectly on the Airtel 299 plan.

Its possible that the BB is trying to download the messenger using the 299 plan and hence the error. Use the Wifi and then download the messengers from the links in the IM folder.Should work. All 3 messengers work flawlessly Yahoo, Gtalk and MSN along wit the BB msgr on the 299 Airtel plan
