Good news ! Free IM client for Cingular users

Instant Messenger Application Now Available for Cingular 8500/8525 and TREO 750!
START AND END DATE:
4/23/2007 - Ongoing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW:
The Instant Messaging application, currently found on the E62 and Blackjack, is now available via download for the Cingular 8500/8525 and Treo 750. Customers will be able to enjoy access to Yahoo! Messenger, AOL Instant Messaging (AIM), and Windows Live Messenger communities through one user interface. In the future all new PDAs and Smartphones will launch with the Instant Messaging application preloaded.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEY SELLING POINTS:
· Mobile IM from AT&T Mobility offers customers a familiar desktop-like IM experience with features that include existing community user names and passwords, a chat conversation window, buddy lists, presence status, and emoticons.
· Mobile IM offers an immediate, yet informal communication option that other communications cannot provide (e.g. voice, email, text messaging). Consumers can extend their desktop IM community to their mobile device and vice versa (Mobile-to-PC and PC-to-Mobile, and Mobile-to-Mobile IM communications), enjoy 24/7 instant connectivity to their contacts, and communicate in environments that are not conducive to traditional voice conversations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have a link to new IM? Or can you tell me how to get it?
thanks

no link as yet? or will we have to wait till the 23rd.

Maybe I'm missing it...
Is this application using sms for IM or data plan?

Does it charge the messages as a text message, or as data?
In other words.. If I have the unlimited DATA plan and NO SMS, will I get unlimited IM or would I need to pay per message sent via. SMS?

Most likely text, I believe that is how the blackjack works.

if this is true, then i'd guess the release of the IM app is related to the expected friday (4/20) announcement for unlimited SMS/MMS on cingular/att. the existing $19.99 messaging extreme 3000 package will apparently become messaging unlimited.

Here is the link that showed me how to download it. Basically you need to download the file through MEdia Net from your phone. It's a cab file.
http://www.cingular.com/learn/messaging-internet/messaging/faq-instant-messaging.jsp#find

here is the 8525 aim cabfile... Its the one from cingular.. it seems like a nice app but for some reason i am not unable to receive ims from ppl when i tested it... also maybe someone can hack it and MAKE IT USE DATA
i know someone here can do it so there ya go

to answer your question.... there is a program that u can use that does just use your data plan, its called imov messenger there is a free version but I would advise you to pay the $20.00 for the enterprise version......
http://www.movsoftware.com/products/imov/imov.htm
if you need help finding a free version just let me kno

This is the Instant Messenger that I use. I've used them all from IM+ to Verichat, etc... Mundu is very nice. The full version is only $11 USD. It says for smartphone, but it works for WM5/WM6 just like it should. You also have the ability to send files from PPC to users as well.
There is a 5 day free trial if you wanna check it out first...

I use IM on my phone when I'm in a meeting and need to touch base with other techs to get them to fix a server or something. But it doesn't seem real easy to use, and i'm concerned for my battery.
Which IM client seems to have the best interface and battery usage?
Thanks,
Rob

well i have this program running while im at work all day and it doesnt really drain m battery that much... it also depends on of your in a 3G area or not... when you are using HSDPA/UMTS it consumes alot more battery life than when your you just on an EDGE/GPRS network.... just a thought

IMOV sucks you have to use the stylist for everything it does not have a good user interface..

Yes I have noticed this and I doubt the enterprise version is any different however its a small price to pay for the program using data instead of sms so in effect making it free for me to IM as much as I want.

the aim program is still buggy it takes alittle bit to send messages and it does not receive any at all.. plus when you sign on it shows you on as a mobile device..

yea i hear that there are problems with the aim program.... but i havent really tried it out that much, i jus try and live with imov messenger.... if i had the know how or the time i would make an IM client that ran off the jabber service (like imov) but make it a little more user friendly... maybe someone can decompile imov and the IM client and make something miraculous out of it... hmmm. I'll start reading.....

[Req] free sms over the internet app (for germany)

basically, as the thread title states, i am looking for an app to take advantage of free internet sms services that send sms to german mobiles, like 5vor12 or sms.de
i searched the market and all it comes up with are free replacements for the stock sms app, but nothing to actually send free sms with. i do of course use whatsapp for friends and colleagues with an android or fruitphone, but i's have to pay quite a lot to reach the ones on dumbphones. on winmo there was a sms.de app and that is the only one i am missing on android so far. in my region i only get edge and accessing the websites is quite annoying and takes ages.

amazon us app store for uk and maybe otherusers

I didn't find this mentioned anywhere..sorry if its old news
Downloaded this app 3 days ago..
https://market.android.com/details?...azon.appstore.free.apps&feature=search_result
(Amazon Appstore -Notifier&Tips
Top Free Apps)
it provides a link in the app to download the amazon us app store (i cant find it anywhere else to download..so it was a big deal)
And i'm a Uk android owner..and it worked! One free paid app a day! lovely

Do you need to use an amazon account that is registed to the usa?

i signed in with my uk email and password....
You need to set up payment and re-enter your phone number in the 1 click ordering part (even if you are downloading free apps). But you just click payment and your card detail for your non US account come up and you just confirm it.
They make you set up payment before you can take advantage of free apps etc....so you are more likely to buy pay-for-apps if its already set up (marketing tactic)

My australian account works also, w00t!

Works for me too...cheers op!

It did indeed work for a while. Now however the party is over again...

Yep ... Entered my wife's NOTE II serial and it worked. Interesting. Wonder when they are going to catch it ain't a Note 10.1. Not sure why mine didn't work. But I've got JSS15J.I317UCUBMJ4 (Android 4.3) loaded on mine. Maybe that's changed something .... Wife is running Jedi 19.

Worked for me too. Unfortunately playstore and samsung hub gift cards arent available in my country. But still they sell their phones in my country.

Thank you so much! Worked for me with GN2!

Just a guess, you probably have already registered and used a benefit offered by Samsung previously?
I am sure these offers are designed for "first time" users/enrollees so to speak.

I registered my gmail address, creating a Samsung account previously. It took the already registered account info and let me continue.
But that's a good point. Whatever you put in, you now will have a registered Samsung account.

I already got a free 2 GB dropbox and I wonder if I can upgrade to 50 GB for free?

Followed the instructions and received my email minutes later, with the Play Store coupons, etc.
However, as I'm in Ireland/UK, we can't use codes.
If you go to Google Wallet, and change your 'home country' to the US, you can then add the voucher. However, you cannot change your country back until the balance of the voucher is completely gone.

[APP] Bye Bye Whatsapp Welcome Telegram

Now Introducing new app called TELEGRAM with highspeed msg delivering capable of send files upto 1GB and also it features to share word and powerpoint files........ group capacity 200 people.
Download Link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.telegram.messenger
Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security. It’s superfast, simple and free.
With Telegram, you can create group chats with up to 200 people so you can stay connected with everyone at once. Plus, you can share videos up to 1GB, send multiple photos from the web, and forward any media you receive in an instant. All your messages are in the cloud, so you can easily access them from any of your devices.
For those interested in maximum privacy, we've added Secret Chats, featuring end-to-end encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient. When it comes to Secret Chats, nothing is logged on our servers and you can automatically program the messages to self-destruct from both devices so there is never any record of it.
We built Telegram to make messaging safe again so you can take back your right to privacy.
Why Switch to Telegram?
FAST: Telegram is the fastest messaging app on the market because it uses a decentralized infrastructure with data centers positioned around the globe to connect people to the closest possible server.
SECURE: Security flaws in popular apps like WhatsApp have gotten a lot of bad press recently, so we made it our mission to provide the best security on the market.
CLOUD STORAGE: Never lose your data again! Telegram offers free unlimited cloud storage for all your Telegram messages and media that you can securely access from multiple devices.
GROUP CHAT & SHARING: With Telegram, you can form large group chats (up to 100 members), quickly share gigabyte size videos, and send all the photos you want to friends.
RELIABLE: Built to deliver your messages in the minimum bytes possible, Telegram is the most reliable messaging system ever made. It even works on the weakest mobile connections!
100% FREE & NO ADS: Telegram is free and will always be free. We do not plan to sell ads or introduce subscription fees.
PRIVACY: We take your privacy very seriously and will never give third parties access to your data!

For whatsapp we are useing 2line whatsapp, can find same feature for telegram?

Really bye bye WhatsApp? I don't think so. WA has a huge user base thats just getting bigger and bigger. I haven't saw that much of user base on any other Messaging Apps. May be Line? Its hard to convince people to use other messaging app rather than their prefered one. They usually don't do it or gives up after trying for some days. It happened for me when BBM launches. I volunteerly used it. But non of friends are using it. Same happens with Viber and WeChat.

Telegram is written by Nikolai Durov, money was given from his brother Pavel Durov, "founder" of Russian Facebook clone vkontakte (vk.com). The biggest base of pron, pirated music and videos, if you miss any mp3 you gonna find it on vk. (Not a promotion just a fact)
In the faq they tell if there is no more money they add donation option or introduce paid client with minimum new features compared to very free version.
But if you can imagine how much money zuckerberg has, you can multiply that amount by 2 or 3 and you get the money Durov has...
Their goal is to make a 100% free and secure instant messaging service.
The money isn't a problem for this project

I will give it a try, it is free and now that facebook bites whatsapp there is a privacy risk. They said not but I don't think facebook can be trustful in those questions.
I use phone PC and tablet, whatsapp can run only in one device, telegram is multi device and I love that

Durov is that guy who throw banknotes through the windows in Moscow?

LOL! true that

its a very nice app..it has secret chat in which there is end to end encryption of messeges...its really safe...watsapp send messeges in plain text and it also saves backup on sdcard ..any app can take it and with a python script it can b opened ...watsapp is really unsecure...
I prefer telegram if you are haing a gf
otherwise watsapp is the best..its simple and perfect app..
