MSN Messenger on 3 Network PAYG

Does anyone know if you can actually use MSN Messenger free on PAYG?

I know before I left to travel it said free until end of the year but don't know if they started to charge or not for PAYG customers or if you MUST top up with a minimum of £10 a month to get it free.

I rarely use my phone to make calls or send SMS so very unlikely I'll ever need to regularly top up each month.

Also anyone using the 3 Skype phone? If so does it also run MSN Messenger? and if so does it work reliably? I have a 3 LG Phone and it's always crashing on MSN or freezing and slowing right down.

    Not sure if it's still free on PAYG but a couple of my friends are on three, and I am too. MSN messenger crashes constantly and slows for all of us. It's pretty buggy and far from perfect for everyone as far as I know.

    I second that. It is free I believe on PAYG - But you can always check the Three website for more information. :)
