So I have the phone and was wanting to start exploring the IM/Chat clients. I have MSN,Yahoo,and ICQ accounts.
BUT.... my wife and I have text messaging blocked, and I don't have a text plan. I get strange messages that the IM clients are disabled. I guess I didn't think text messaging was the same as instant messaging?
Am I right should it be separate.... or are they Dependant?
Thanks appreciate your help.
Grab a copy of palringo from palringo.com...it can log onto aim, icq, msn, yahoo, etc....and send/receive text/pics and voice msg's....for free and uses only your data connection....be it wifi, edge/3g or activesync to a pc.......

Is there a way to install these onto the XDA Exec?
Yes, you can install many versions of AIM, AOL or Yahoo messenger. If you have t-mobile in US. They offered a text msg version of aim, icq and yahoo messenger on the ipaq 6315. (I may still have a version somewhere). These apps are not really aim or yahoo messenger, but a text (sms) version of the original applications. Each msg counts toward your text msg alottment. Signing onto aim may take 2-3 msg's, checking buddy list, several more, etc. If you have unlimited text, its not a problem, but it is not true aim or yahoo messenger.
You can download a version of AOL from handango (i think 19.95) that has aim, aol email, etc. You can also download an older version from a uk web site. This uses gprs or wifi and does not count against text msg count. I only use aim or aol, so that works for me.
Most people however, use Agile messenger, which has aim, yahoo, icq and others and it does work on the jasjar.
If you use multiple instant msg apps, try Agile messenger. Just google for it. The web site talks about fees, but I have never received any fees.
I understand SMS compared to email, whats Messenger service ( ie Yahoo messenger ).
What happens when a Yahoo message hits your PPC in WM5, does it end up in an email account like SMS ?
I know that SMS is quick than email, as its a phone call, whats IM or messenger is it quicker than SMS ??
I know nothing about IM or Messenger services, please advise a newbie ?
SMS, Email, and IM services are three distinctly different methods of communication.
To make it simple:
Email is routed by email servers using the internet.
IM services (generally) operate on the "server/client" principle. For example, you use MSN Messenger, when you log in... you authenticate with MSN and you are connected through their server to people on you contact list. They are considered an Intermediary (this is not ALWAYS true for all IM providers). This service _also_ uses the internet.
SMS does not (in my experience with providers) directly, use the internet. Your SMS message is sent through the cellular radio service to a reception number, from there it is delivered through the cellular network. Hence the reason SMS will work without a GPRS connection.
Now I maybe wrong on some of this but I'm fairly confident in my response. If there are any corrections to be had, please let me know and I will gladly alter my memory to equip that change

Is there a MSN Messenger client I could use on my phone that would count against my text messages? AIM counts against my text messages, I'm sure MSN could do it too.
I have unlimited texts, and no internet MB usage. So It would be more convenient
I think oz messenger (default program in official t-mobile 2.26) lets you connect to aim, yahoo, and msn. oz messenger works completely through text messaging, so it won't count against your internet. if you can find someone who might've extracted the cab file from the extended rom, that might work...
thanks. found a link to it on this site. hope it works
if anyone knows any other clients, that could help!
Okay apparently that one doesn't have MSN on it. Only ICQ, Yahoo, and AIM.
I need MSN messenger. A client that works as a text messaging client, not a data transfer client. Someone please help me out here; I've been searching google like crazy.

Check the "mail service" (You are using it to write/reply sms, but probably dont know that it can be used to write/reply email)
You can change the notification, and you will get email like sms.
(HTC Home or Manila2D is required)
I'm not sure if it's possible (Verizon probably would have included htc messaging client if it could), but is there a way to enable SMS inbox rules and still keep the messaging client? When I get a voice mail, I get a text message that starts with //VWM, and without the messaging client, this gets filtered out of the SMS inbox and it let's me know I have a voice mail. With the messaging client in, it does not use any inbox filtering.
Just wondering if it's possible or anyone know anything about it?
Thanks,
