Also a WAP version was in this link mobile.msn.com and mim.live.com

If you have never used it, WAP is extremely lightweight, all the code and that made this work was in the server and would exist only in the deep archives in Redmond.

Also, as someone who used both WAP and SMS to access Messenger when that was in vogue, these interfaces were very limited (literally lists of text) and wouldn’t even be worth reviving in their original form.
