Hello All,

I am aware of the issues with Yahoo Messenger and Cingular but I am getting the same thing on my 8703e on the sprint network. After installation, I get the message that I need to go to the blackberry website to activate YM.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

man i tried to get it to work but couldnt if you get yours to work let me know please.

I got mine to work by just doing what i posted in that other link. Did u load the service book as I suggested? What else have u tired other than just installing yahoo im?

I also got it to work by following the directions in the other post. What I don't get though is that it is supposed to work just fine. I spoke to tech support (sprint) for almost 2 hours and they could not figure it out. I performed the procedure mentioned above while I was on the phone with them...

Thanks again to everyone for their help and assistance.

Jim

Glad you got it to work finally. Forget Sprint they wont support 3rd party apps such as YIM. Once I was told that from Sprint I knew I was just going to have to do this on my own. I knew it would work once the service book was loaded. Sprints reply was im sorry I dont know.

enjoy,

You got that right Braz!!!!! Sprint tech support only works when it's a Sprint issue and not a 3rd party issue. I got my 8703 yesterday and couldn't get my Yahoo IM to install for shit until I read this forum. Thanks allot guys! You got my support!!!!!!!

Any1 who is using the 8703e when using the pin messaging has any1 looked at the symbols and seen that there are 4 pages of smileys.... well if not there are... now here is my dilemna all my smileys have dissappeared since i restored from my 7130e to my 8703e on sprint... any1 have any ideas on how to get them back?????? and any 1 know how to only restore the phone book and thats it....... i am stuck on stupid for the past 2 weeks since i have gotten this.... any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Thanx In Advance

i got to too work after a week of trying and man do it feel good.

I got it to work but it wont get any offline messages, apparantly they are sent to a black hole if you sign on with the BB YIM. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks.
