PSP owners warm up your handhelds as the online PSP messenging service powered by BT has been released and is available for download via the Go! Messenger icon on your XMB. Make free video calls, voice chats, or text chat with your friends using your PSP and if they don't own a PSP, then call them on their PC. That's right you may also make free calls to PC's by downloading some software for free, called 'BT Softphone 2' which can be found on the Go!Messenger site.

This service is available to both Phat and Slim users and will only work on European PSPs. Have Custom Firmware??; then simply follow this easy guide by zainil.



You may also sign up on your PC here, and if you enter your email, then you'll have to wait for two confirmation emails. Remember thats two, once you receive the second one then you're good to go and can login on your PSP.

NOTE: You need a theme with the GO! Messenger icon installed on it. Some custom themes do not have this icon.

via:Go! Messenger

This is cool if you live in Europe or have M33, but the servers are really really slow since it came out this morning, I have been trying to create an account for hours... if anyone is successful please kindly make me one with my name 'Nikolaos' before it is taken! :(

And btw, the girl they have on their pages... she is damn ugly and looks like a man rofl...

edit: Damn it is taken!

I am successful :thumbup: in making mine account ..

Why didn't they ever release the camera in the states? It makes no sense to me. I'd love to have one, but I'm not really up for importing it.

this seems of limited use to me, it doesnt support anything but the go messenger protocol, unless im missing something.

I am not in the states , i am in jamaica, i know they r going to sale the gps in the states this year but not sure if they r planning to sell the camera this year or maybe next year ..

But i am planning on importing it , as thats my only option at the moment ...

I think u can check amazon .. here is a link to it .. they r selling it for more than its is selling for which is 49. . but its only from japan or the uk ..

Boot into recovery mode, go to Configuration and change "Fake region" from Disabled (or whatever it is) to Europe. Then it should work just fine.

That said I had some problems signing up for an account, and I ended up going through a proxy to make the account (it kept saying I "Wasn't aloud"). I live in Canada.

So you'll get the icon no doubt, but if you have problems signing up then just hop through a proxy and do it that way. My guess is that they're just doing an IP check.

Hope this helps, and sorry for any bad grammar etc, I'm half asleep.


EDIT:
To clarify, go here on your computer through a proxy to sign up, need be.

thank you thank you the man oh and by hte way thank you lol

This might be one of the dumbest official thing yet.
who knows it might get popular but then again migh have a life of 45 days or less. If it was a messenger thats suitable of all types of IM services then that completely different. If someone could edit the code of this & add support for the Leading IM services then that migh be useful.

BTW i nkow it off topic but i can't make a new thread since of admins lowering me fo adverting my forum which i made 3 hours before putting it up here but anyway:
If you psp gets egged it won't brick but it does ask you for the time & date. Either that or i switiched my psp on & off way too quickly.

Is anyone outside of Europe having any luck signing up?

EDIT: Oh I got through. Persistence is the key :P
For anyone else who got through my username is shanesgc i think lol

I did. Proxy is thy friend :). (I live in Canada too by the way, in case you missed my post on the last page).

Im in tennessee and I didnt even use a proxy.. Someone go start a go messanger id thread.

so has anybody in North America used go!messenger successfully?

I'm in North America and I registered successfully. But I have to wait for those registration e-mails though.

My username is Xulap. by the way.

aw man, lucky

I was trying all last night but I guess Europe is like 6 hours ahead and mad ppl were registering their PSP's for go!messenger... makes sense

djbrotherson you can go here and try registering if you can't do it with the PSP. If not, you can send me a PM with your e-mail and your desired password and I can do it for you.

Yea that would be all good except I did get to the part where it started downloading an eboot then a DRM but then it timed out and stopped working all together which was my first initial problem. Registering seems like a breeze but what was the eboot and DRM for? Can't I just throw it on my memstick somewhere?



EDIT

K I just registered, the name is.... Brothason !

well... i am from portugal and i jst registered myself successfully on my pc... but i do not want to go up to 3.90 m33 yet... No POPS no CFW... i shall just wait fro CFW 4.00 xD

Kyuubidx you can download the Application and copy it to your GAME and APP folder under PSP, and it will run just fine, as any other application.

hmm im still wating for my secod email =/

I just received my 2nd e-mail like 5 minutes ago! It's really awesome! I can't wait to have the Go!Cam(it's supposed to arrive this week) and have a lot of contacts. It will be a lot of fun to use this when I'm bored in College.


Edit: Those bastards just said that the shipment got delayed, so I'll have to wait another 2 weeks. :mad: They'll ship the item on next Tuesday and then I'll have to wait a few days more until it arrives. :mad:

Second email?

I registered on the page and received an email... all it said was "thank you for signing up blah blah blah here's your user/pass write it down blah blah blah keep it safe blah blah if u have any more questions blah blah blah"

What's the second email for?

(by the way I just used firefox to register and not my psp, ima do that when i get home)

I used Firefox as well. The first e-mail tells you your account summary and crap. But the second is to confirm your account, and when you receive that one is when you can actually log on to Go!Messenger. And there's no need to register using your PSP if you already did using a PC(Firefox), just wait for that e-mail. :)

The e-mail's title is:

More power to your PSP™ with Go!Messenger

Ok I added DarthXulap. Anyone else get his working?

hi

someone can send me a text message to

kauz

I want to test the camera..

this go!sucker only accepts video chats if both have cam - video message work well

I'm from cali has anyone got it to work yet.

sound message is also working

you can even send messages back - uuhh

all without mic/cam

ICE I'm having problems here, sorry.

Sometimes I can't connect and have to restart the PSP, and sometimes it says "Loading/Saving data to Memory Sticks" and stays there. I don't know if it's my PSP or it's the program itself that's buggy...

Hmm. It says you're still online :P I sent you a video message.

EDIT: Oh and when I added you I added xulap as the nickname and thats it.

I just logged back on and it's asking me to download the messages... yes... Download, wtf?

why arent more people excited about this? its better than skype on psp imo.

I can't really see how ? Skype lets you phone landlines, and any thing with Skype, correct ? I gotta say, this Go!Messenger isn't all that useful unless you hang around with a group of PSP fanatics.

Probably because it seems pointless since its only Go!messenger plus it looks like a slow keyboard typing personally i'd stick with AFKIM 2:thumbup: has all my favorite im services and faster way of typing just no video or sound even tho it might have been doable just by picking apart Go!messenger i thinks:cool:

Just got the second email and logged on. Looks pretty cool. Havn't had any bugs so far. Sucks how you can't send text messages but there's text rooms. I added kauz, ICE and DarthPaul to test this but no one is on. It would be cool if they added some big name IM services.

you can call land lines on skype for a fee. this does everything psp skype does but better really. iming will always be slow on psp but video chat is sweet plus voice chat just like on skype. also skype makes you pay to have voice mail too and this doesn't.

I talked to ICE on this. It worked really well. I noticed it saves the videos to your memory card so you don't have any video stutter. Pretty neat.
