Nor have I used a credit card for either yahoo or MSN.... I use also use a HOTMAIL address/passport and NOT my real email address with these messengers. Lionel..... if you want ... send me an email..and tell me the email address you want to use for MSN and I will send you an invite. This way, you should be pretty assured it will be the same link that we use without giving any credit card info. There may be somewhere in the process where you could be asked if you want to purchase winks or some other stuff, but the messenger (with some of the winks (smiley faces and more) are included. I will be happy to do that to help you get on line with MSN.

Is the credit card requested by the download site or the Yahoo installation/registration process? I've never had to give credit card info when downloading direct from Yahoo... http://messenger.yahoo.com/download.php;_ylt=Ar4vojsykIT6gIL6ck4FZNdwMMIF Don ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lionel" <percy10@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "PC-TechTalk" <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 4:54 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Yahoo Messenger ?>? > Hi All........
