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...
Hi,
I have recently switched back from using AgileMessenger to using OZ IM, which is the "Instant Messaging" program bundled with T-Mobile MDAs. I did this because I hate how I miss messages when I'm in an area with poor service using AgileMessenger. OZ IM uses SMS messages, so it doesn't have that problem, but it does have one ASTOUNDINGLY annoying feature - it constantly shows a notification entitled "AOL Instant Messenger" that seems to just serve to tell me that its available and let me switch to it. I think this is a convenience for people who aren't using a replacement task switcher like Magic Button, and in that context I can see it being good, but personally I find it quite annoying. Is there any way that anyone is aware of that I can disable that notification? I'd prefer to use Magic Button to switch to OZ IM and use the notification feature for what it was intended for.
I've been having the same problem on my new MDA and just searched to find this single thread about it. Anyone have a solution?
ANNOYING AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!
i also agree
on another note i checked the oz.com site and it shows that they have a version that does msn messenger too, i would like to get one that does them all wonder how i can get that version??? also would like to get it with google talk...
hey i just found this on HowardForums, I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but am going to right now will post results in a few
"Posted by: goombalife
As for Agile Notification options, there is some bug that appears to constantly be neglected, at least for our wizards. To remove the annoying balloon notification run the client once, look inside of \program files\agilemessenger... and using a text editor (total commander for example) open preferences.xml look for the dual entry of <text_balloons>, remove the first entry and notice the second entry is the option you have chosen inside the client... OFF! "
dumbass me, this was for agilemessenger
sorry jumped the gun..
Does anyone know if T-Mobile OZ works with any other provider? I am with Fido and cannot get it to go.
What is the best mobile messenger out there that supports AIM?
The only two I know of is IM+ and Agile Messnger. I know Agile Messenger uses data plan but what about IM+? Data or SMS?
Are there any other ones that are out there that I dont know? Thanks.
i only know of those 2 and oz messenger that comes stock on tmobile mdas. i like Agile though cuz it doesnt use sms i think Im + is Data also
Hi does anyone know a messaging software to replace "inbox"? I feel that it has problems like not being able to resend messsages when there is not signal. I want it to be able to send the message automatically when it gets a signal. Another problem is when there is linebreaks in the message. the xda just ignores the linebreaks and just connects the next word
Dear All,
i have tired from searching for an application to enable me send a contact details using SMS. after a long search i found a similar application called RJV SendContact (http://www.airfagev.com/forum_view.asp?msg_id=52421) , but it is for smart phones. do anyone know a similar application that can work with our PPC Wizard devices.
Can't help, but i would like one too.
Yet another big shortfall with WM5. I mean, FFS, Vcard's have been a standard feature in mobiles for years.
Hi there.
Try looking/searching for Sunnysoft Vcard. Google it and you will know that it is what you guys are looking for.
Regards.

Try Vazu.
I used it back about two years ago when they first offered it as a free beta. I used it for a year and then they tried to start charging for it. But I see now that they are once again offering the service free of charge, except for international SMS messages.
BTW, I have no connection of any kind with them, except that I used it for a while.
Good luck.
this is for sending sms for the us, but not Vcards from your device.
I don't know if it's just US or not, but you can upload your contacts (read: vCards) to their site and they will then be sent to your phone via SMS.
That info may be beyond the main page - read through the site and you'll see what I'm talking about. I used it about two years ago when they first established the site to send about 200 Outlook contacts from my PC to a Motorola T720 (Ugh 0 what a dog that phone was!)
OK - I copied the link directly to the page that explains how to import contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Ximian Evolution (Whatever that is) for transmission directly to your cell phone:
https://www.vazu.com/help/import_contact.php
Many Thanks
Many Thanks for your effort, it can be a replacement
I use this small program. it adds "Sens as Vcard"to the contactsmenu, when you hold your stylus on a contact.
And it recognises Vcards when you recieve them.
I don't know where I found this so I attach it to this post, I hope this is not Illegal. Otherwise Google for vCardforminiS.cab
good luck
Great App, but i google for it i did not find anything concerning this app, anyway , thanks alot
I could not find it with google eather, sorry for the wrong tip
o2 sms has this feature
The O2 SMSprogram has this feature. Someone on this forum posted the version that can be installed on the Wizard. I tried it once but found it a bit slow. Then again I was running the original Cingular Rom which sucked big time. Search for the thread and try it out. The only drawback is that the application does not eliminate the messages from also showing up in the default WM5 messaging application.

I tried installing it in my phone. It says Installation unsuccessful. Am I doing anything wrong ?
