I am having similar problems with my n900 on tmobile. I have tried pidgin and amsn but can't connect to my msn messenger account. I spoke to tmobile and they don't think they are blocking the service.
darlomrh, which program exactly did you use to get this working? Thanks.

As mentioned, I had this same issue when I was first put on the basic 1gb allowance package. Ask to upgrade to Web'n'walk plus (3gb allowance, ports unblocked) and I can now use MSN, Skype (IM and Voice), all other messenger protocols without issue on my account fine.

I had to get them to upgrade me to handset as modem to get this to work.
If you don't want to upgrade your T-Mob account you can use jabber and connect to a msn relay and the does the trick too.
If you need some more help let me know

Thanks Darlomrh.
The person I spoke to at tmobile did not seem to know anything about upgrading but will ask. I have tried the haze plugin which did not work.
Can you please give me details of how to get access via jabber (eg specific applications to install) and I'll try tmobile again.
Many thanks.

I was worried about this blocking, which was a strong reason for sticking with 3Uk which pretty much block NOTHING.

Interesting.. just tested this and have the same msn issue over the Tmobile web n walk connection but perfect connection through pidgin on my wifi. Skype works over W&W and reading the T and Cs on the back of my contract they specifically exclude 3rd party VOIP calling provider "unless permiited by the terms and conditions of your calling plan"... so this means they allow skype on W&W and not msn without an upgrade? I find that very odd indeed....

This is interesting, as I will be switching from O2 back to my old T-Mobile SIM in a month or two. I had Live Messenger working on that SIM on my Xperia X1 so if it doesn't work on the N900 that would be curious indeed.
That said as I will be saving £35/month getting rid of O2 its not the end of the world if I have to upgrade to Web n Walk Plus.

I put my tmobile sim in a nokia N95 8gb which had Windows Live for Nokia S60 installed on it.
I was able to connect over my Web n Walk connection without any problems. Seems there might be a something peculiar to the apps and the n900.

Curiosity got the better of me and I put a Virgin Mobile PAYG sim in the N900.
It registered as T-Mobile as Virgin use T-Mobile's network and MSN plugin and Facebook chat worked.
So I'm thinking it is a setup issue on my account. So I have enabled the handset as Modem upgrade to my account so it would refresh the settings and surprise MSN and Facebook chat.
Plan is to keep the upgrade for a month and then take it off and hopefully all will be good.
