Since hutch is preactivating GPRS connections for prepaid customers, and the browsing charges are like 10p for 10KB , i wanted to know if there is a way to connect to yahoo messenger and stay online.
I tried using meebo, but then the browser on my phone just doesnt allow me to enter the username/password in the respective fields since its a jsp i guess.

Is there any other way of doing so ?

you could also use softwares to log into messenger, which is always a better bet than using wap messengers. And they dont use much of a trafic either.
For low data usage, you could use Mig33, supports Yahoo, MSN and AIM. And it is free.
But you should be having a JAVA enabled phone.

PS- BTW, if you decide to use Mig33, eventhough you can download and register for the service free of cost, if some other Mig33 member invites you to the service, he could get 1 Aus. Doller credit for that, which can be utilised to send cheap sms and make cheap calls. You shall get your 1$ credit on registering eitherways. So why not do so through an invitation :D
I am a Mig user, and need to make regular calls to USA, hence, it helps me to invite people. If you dont mind, you coud PM me your number and i could invite you to Mig?

@alsiladka Pm sent
I use a Nokia 6681 which fully supports Java MIDP 2.0 .
So , shouldnt be any problems. Are they any specific changes that i need to make in my GPRS settings, do i need to use a proxy ?

@pathiks, visiting this section after some time and you are going great guns mate. You always ruled the mobile section

No you do not need any proxy or any changes. You can connect directly to mig33.

Just use YMSG & you can connect to Yahoo messenger. I have written a tutorial for Web services on Mobile Phones which might help U.
