Phone Instant Messenging

[jtwhite]

I'm getting mobile internet on my phone in about an hour...

Is there a free service for IMing?

For Internet browsing, I've used ebuddy.com in the past. Works on PSPs and any other device quite well.

Thanks for suggesting that. I'm writing this from my phone Now

What carrier do you have?

 

[jtwhite]

Sprint... It's $15.00/month for unlimited...

Don't most phones come integrated with IM? I know my phone has a place where I can sign in to AIM.

 

[jtwhite]

Oh it's integrated but sprint's version of IM is a subscription >=[

Now that I think of it, I think the only way you can logically use it if you have unlimited texting, because each instant message counts as a text, not a part of the data plan.

Mine uses data.

eBuddy has a java applet you can use on your phone as well. Instead of using the website version.

Yeah and for those on the iPhone like myself eBuddy has an app that will even push messages to the phone for up to 30 minutes after you close the app.

What phone do you got?

Sorry to come out of nowhere...but...

anyone know of a way to get free text messaging on your phone?
how to go about, opening your own text messaging corp...?
or...how I can manipulate at&t phones to get free texting...?possibly free internet...?

I just got a good idea from reading this thread...
