There is a free instant messenger app that comes with all WM5 phones. SDA, etc. My Qtek 9100 only has the MSN messanger app. I am looking for a free aol im app. Also I use Mac.....so how do i get it to my phone. It seems you can only do it from a PC. There has to be a way around this. Does anyone know a download place for the aol im for WM5? Has anyone figured this one out....I know you can buy one, which is lame.....when it is free on most WM5 phones. Please someone out there......give the answers.....lol.
u can do this by using agile messenger
i dont have my wizard already, but i found in the internet this free messenger:
http://www.movsoftware.com/products/imov/imov.htm
they say it is for WM 5.0
Agile says the WM 5.0 comes soon. (But i guess the 2002 Beta works too)
this agile messenger u can try it, i use it in my pda2k wm2003
Ahem...hello Alex. The T-Mobile messenger app is called OZ. It's actually pretty cool, but it only integrates AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo. Here is the Cab file.
Hey Yung. Thanx for answering his question and not giving him a whole bunch of alternitives. I was looking for this to, and every time I asked soemone would post; "use this, use that, I recommend this..." You get the idea. Anyways, thanks man.
Later; Lew
I tried out the OZ program and it seemed to work just fine. What I don't like is that it appears to use SMS for your IM's instead of your data connection. I talked with two people at TMO Customer service, but they just kept trying to tell me about regular texting. But on the TMO site, it looks like all instant message programs that come on their phones use SMS.
That is probably true since th eOX program dosent seam to work on my cingular 8125. It installs and all but it never can connect.
Later; Lew
OZ does appear to use text messaging, since T-Mobile just charged me for 45 text messages after I installed and started using it. :shock:
The T-Mobile extended ROM also included the T-Mobile Comm Manager. It has the phone on/off setting. See attached Cab...
Your list of PDA/Phones is longer than any of your posts. Cool 8)
I may try that comm manager, but I am going to wait till I will have the time to do a hard reset, just in case.
Later; Lew
I installed the OZ messenger on my cingular 8125 and it worked fine. I also hope that it doesnt use SMS as I've been using it like mad and don't want to get charged... The GPRS/Edge icon changes to connected when I connect using OZ messenger, so i'm hopeful that it doesn't use SMS.
Wow. Are you on Cingular network? Please let me know what you find out about how it works, SMS or Direct.
Later; Lew
I installed the cab. Yet when I try to sign on, I get the sms yet it doesn't successfully work. Newbie apologies if I'm not doing something obvious.
Probably not, I tryed, not long, but I tryed to get it to work. It kept failing to connect. Meh... what can you do?
Later; Lew
So... I couldn't get it to connect. I uninstalled, but there is a ghost icon left in programs. How can I get rid of the shortcut?
It needs to be installed to the phone, not the card. ONce I reinstalled, it worked fine.
so has anyone been successful in runnin a free aol program from their MDA?? i hate the fact tmo charges 14.99 in addition to the 29.99 dataplan for unlimited text messages.

agile works fine, its not designed for wm5, but it still works. there is supposed to be a beta wm5 version coming out soon
I tried loading OZ on my Qtek 9100 with cingular and it will not connect. When I look in the registry under HKCU\OZ Communications\Configuration\1
Data: Network
Value: http://wirelessvillage.t-mobile.com
It appears to point to T-Mobile which is not my carrier and may be why I can't connect.
Has anyone been able to get OZ IM to work with Cingular? If so, what is this registrry value in your registry?
Thanks.
Thought I would start this thread to identify the best IM for WM5.0 or Wizard. We are looking for a universal IM that connects to MSN, ICQ, AOL and Yahoo.
I have Agile Messenger but it seems to disconnect all the time while in a call or just randomly. Not to reliable. My wife has the sidekick and the IM is flawless.
What do you use and recommend?
Agile Messenger
Pro:
Nice interface that allows you to see all contacts from different services
You can pull ICQ info so you can see who are ebhind those numbers
Separate tabs for each IM window
Alerts when an IM appears
Con:
Connection drops when on call
Connection drops randomly (should be a buffer for lost connections before it disconnects)
The application will randomly close
I use Agile
About the cons:
Connection drops when on call (It uses GPRS/EDGE, which is the same part of the phone that makes/takes calls. The only other way is to use text messages, and that is costly)
Connection drops randomly (should be a buffer for lost connections before it disconnects) (I've never had that happen to me)
The application will randomly close (I've never had that happen to me)
Does anybody use the AIM that comes setup on the MDA? If not, why not? I don't use anything other than AIM, and the one that came with the phone seems to work fine (although I've only had it for a day now).
From what I've heard, the OZ messenger app which comes installed on tmobile mda uses sms to chat. this means you pay for each sms message unless you have unlimitted sms plan. also, i've found it to be painfully slow.
I think agile is great, especially the WM5 alpha build. agile must disconnect during a call because GPRS/EDGE and voice cannot be used at the same time. I also had random disonnects before I updated to the qtek AKU2 rom. Now that i have updated, agile works flawlessly.
the oz communicator does not use sms. i dont know why people start these nasty rumors. the problem i have with oz is that it constantly occupies the notification slot telling you that you ar available. the led will always blink orange when it is on. and i actually caught it disconnected with the available icon still in the notification tray.
if they fixed the notification to only when you get a new message then i would probably use it.
my agile closes its self too.

OZ absolutely does use SMS. I have performed tests on this where the ONLY use that could have been made of the SMS was the OZ client, and the counter got hit for EVERY message.
That's not a "nasty rumor" - its a FACT.
I totally agree that OZ uses SMS. I don't have unlimited SMS, so I never use it. After testing OZ, I suddenly had 45 text messages on my bill. Coincidence? NO! Like I said, I never use SMS, so it certainly was OZ that was using SMS to transmit those IMs back and forth.

I agree, we don't use unlimited SMS either, OZ is definitely SMS-based.
The SMS charges even say "IM" or "AIM" (can't remember which now)

Hmm. Not free though...
I have been using the T-Mobile USA messenger software. It works, but the incoming messages are very slow. Outgoing ones are fast but the incoming take about 5 mins or so. Where can I download the OZ software?
I went to dl agile and the site says WM5 version coming soon. what version are you guys using?
the WM5 version of agile is due in the next 1-2 weeks...
there's a link to an alpha version of the WM5 agile in another xda-dev thread...
For people who uses Flexmail...
I have tested this with Cingular and they are seeing a problem as well. They are still trying to figure it out but here is the situation.
Whenever I use flexmail for SMS messages...
Cingular to Cingular the text goes through.
Other carriers are able to send to me as well.
When I try to send a txt using Flexmail, it doesn't go anywhere. Cingular has confirmed that it's going through their server, but not being received by the other carriers. However, txt's that are sent using Flexmail to my own provider (Cingular), the text goes through without any problems.
If I don't use FLEXMAIL and use the built in SMS, it works fine despite which carrier it goes through.
Any one have any ideas what is going on?
I would check with the people at Flexmail, http://www.webis.net. They have a support forum and if you want to go the extra step you can download their latest beta from their forum thread : http://www.pocketinformant.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=10113
I have tried already. I haven't gotten a response and I figured I'd post here as well for those who uses flexmail. I know many people use that product and was wondering (for the users) if they encounter any problems with SMS using flexmail.
I use it on Cingular but admit that I haven't sent SMS to any non-Cingular people yet.

Sickchilly:
Do me a favor and give it a try yourself. Use Flexmail's SMS. Try sending to other carriers (Verizon, Tmobile, Sprint, etc.). Any of those and see if it goes through.
If it does then there must be some setting on my end. I know Cingular wanted me to test my Sim and my phone by switching it out and sending a message from another Cingular phone. It works so it's not the sim/phone. I'm pretty sure it's flexmail but then again, it could be some setting within my phone.
Let me know...
Anyone else please see if this occurs.
Hi,
Can FlexMail do MMS????.
and
SMS is threaded?

Taguapire.
Heres a weird question... does anyone know if MSN Messenger on Cingular 8525 sends its IM's as TEXT messages or Data? Cuz freakin cingular/AT&T doesnt have unlimited text, i dont want to run up a huge bill. I have AIM2.0 CE and it sends its IM's as DATA which i totally love. Any info would be great!
From what I have read, the new IM program that they offer sends them as text messages, however, for 19.99 a month they now offer unlimited text.

This is kind of vague info but you requested ANY info. I recently found a website where they gave instructions on installing Windows Messenger for WM2002 and then upgrading to Windows Messenger for WM2003. This will give you Messenger that only uses data. I wish I could find where the instructions were explained but I can't. I actually did it and so far Cingular is not showing me using any text messages.

You DO have unlimited text messaging don't you? When I was new to my device, I used Oz, and it ate my text time (I am on the 400 message plan).

OZ for Blackberry Pearl Flip?
Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help me...
I had the OZ messenger bundle on my Blackberry pearl, which allowed me to IM without having a data plan.
Upgraded to the Flip which doesn't have that capability. I don't want or need a data plan, but I do want my OZ instant messenger back - especially for AOL IM.
Can anyone help me get the OZ app on my flip?
Thank you!
