MOBILE IM PROBLEMS: Did not receive response from IM server.?

Question

I have a verizon wireless phone.

And Mobile IM came already with my phone.

I am having problems logging in.

On all the different Instant Messenger programs, like, Yahoo!, MSN, and AIM.

I try to log in on MSN, and it says "Signing In..."

but after a few minutes it does not sign in and it says,

Timeout (as a title bar)

Did not receive response from IM server. Select Wait or continue waiting or Sign Off.

When i select wait, it repeats the same process.

When i select Sign Off, i just have to sign back in, and start the process all over again!

If you have verizon, and you have been through the same thing, please tell me what you think about this!

Thanks!

Answer 2

I've been having the same problem since yesterday....After I saw your post, I called Verizon technical support.  They said there is a nationwide outage for IMs with them.  They're working on it, but they did not have any time frame.....Hopefully, it'll be soon!!!
