Nokia 6230 and Yahoo Messenger

Hi all,
I recently bought 2 Nokia 6230's for my wife and I and have been unable to
log on to Yahoo Messenger over GPRS. On all previous phones I have had, you
just go to mm.yahoo.com and you can log in. It works out much cheaper than
using the sms version. When I try to do it on the 6230's it comes back with
"Page not Found".

It has to be something with the phone and I can take the sim out and put it
in other phones, 8310, 6610, Z600 etc and can log in no probs. I have even
tried other SIMs for Optus and Voda netwoks and get the same message.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Well this isn't really assistance as such, but I have two Nokia 6230's, and
can confirm that http://mm.yahoo.com works fine on both of them. I take it
other sites work OK on these phones?



Gary.

Thanks for the reply Gary. At least I know that it is possible on this
phone. Can I ask what firmware your phones are using?

And in answer to your question, yes I dont have a problem accessing any
other sites from either phone.

Kind regards
John

Hi John. Mine are using V4.44 21-09-04. I intend to get them upgraded soon
though, as they've crashed a few times, and I have problems with outgoing
speech quality on my Bluetooth headset, and my 256MB Viking MMC cards dont
work!
