MSN Messenger - GPRS traffic?

[e1design]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if MSN Messenger generates any GPRS traffic if it's just sitting there, logged in?

My provider charges per Kb, and whilst I don't mind paying for the messages that I send and receive I don't really want MSN Messenger to stay connected if it's going to keep sending "keep-alive" packets all the time.

Anyone know?

Thanks,


Paul...

Practically nothing. I have left MS Messenger logged on all night, and it was less than 10 KB in idle traffic, I believe. Use GPRS monitor to watch the use

Any IM application will keep sending/receiving short system messages to tell the host server that it's still logged on and to get the latest update of the contact list status. The traffic amount depends on the frequency of these messages, but it's slim to none in most of cases.
