IM features via mobile phone

[Chris]

I was sitting by the window one day and a little birdie chirped in my ear that C&W will soon be offering a IM feature on your mobile phone. The service will allow you to connect to your favorite IM tool (MSN, Yahoo, etc.) and allow you to appear online so your friends can send you an IM and you can reply as well. More details will come soon ;)

[mingo_dg]

Not a bad move, not necessarily the most important thing that they need to work on, but i guess it can't hurt. T-Mobile has features like that in many of its fones. I have a Nokia 6010 that has IM as a menu option, then you choose which client, login & u'r good to go.

[death_knight]

yeah man its about time things like this happen we just need some sidekicks out here now, [ that phone too hard star ] but i dont know if i'ld use that over ma ngage

[zandex]

This calls for a big celebration, we better start taking out those PDA phones. I guess the Motorola MPx220 and Treo 650 will be really cool to use with this service from CW.

[TechGT]

The price is not bad for the start 1.99c per text

[marlonxp]

I already have a nice java app that is free and allows me to connect to aol msn yahoo and icq all at the same time.

[wiz]

yeah I had a digicel phone that could run java apps you could download msn mobile messenger and use it. it worked fine until digicel started charging for GPRS then it got too expensive...but since you C&W people have a flat rate just search for it on ur phone there's no need to be paying C&W 1.99 per text when you can send them for free.

[Chris]

This system isn't using GPRS, it will use the SMS platform ;)

I got the text today on my CW CELLPHONE! :icon_cool



'Welcome to Bmobile's ChatZone Chat with your Yahoo! Msn and ICQ friends on your mobile! To begin reply wit Y,M or I. Special intro price $1.99c per text"

[Chris]

Yeah, I also got the text message today. I guess the little birdie was a little late this time around.

[MiTcHiE]

This should be a flat rate also, per month. Cant charge per text. Thats robbery.

[megiddo]

fo real, per text would just cost way too much. and isn't it a security hazrd to be signed on over sms. i mean that means your username and password are stored on cwj's servers. also anyone can use your phone and send messages.

[MiTcHiE]

Exactly, but then again they would tell u not to save ur password etc. This just sounds like alot of problem in my opinion,

[zandex]

I totally agree, they need to have a flat rate. Cant charge per text message, I would end up in the poor house after my first bill.

[digitalchef]

$1.99 for intro offer. after december its $2.50. argh, not that big of a deal anymore and this would be so nice to have. :icon_cry:

yo check this, to view which one of your friends are online, you gotta send a txt message. thats $2.50. crazyness. :icon_evil

Why are you people killing out your selves over text messaging? Right i am running Msn messenger, Icq, AIM and yahoo messengr on my phone....

***************FREE**************

For those of you who havent learnt how to use the Symbian to its fullest....please start doing so. DHTML, HTML, WAP all those are standard on symbian platforms...you jsut got to know how to configure and run the software. thats allit takes.

BTW....i own and operate a Nokia N-GAGE.
C&W is still the best provider in the nation, i have global roaming, which means i can go online FREE where gprs service is provided worldwide, check my mail and send emails etc with out any hassle from my phone or my laptop.

[death_knight]

yeah that sucks i was really thinking of using that service but whatever there are alwasy ways around

[Cultus]

For Treo users out there too no need to worry about this crap from c&w ...just go to http://www.pdaapps.com/verichat/index.html try it and I am sure you will be will to spend $24.95 for 1 Year and $19.95/year thereafter...for Verichat. its aol, msn, yahoo, aim, icq, jabber....its everything in one cool neat app....with all the fancy features for receiving and sending files while you chat.....why bother pay per message...when you can be online forever.....

until something reasonable comes up, i'll stick with e-messenger

that still works i heard lots of people saying it doesnt, as in the wap version doesnt work. :eusa_thin when ever it trying goin there on a phone that doesnt have an xhtml bowser i cant get there, while when i use likea p800 or an ngage or some other symbian type phone i get to the www version of the site as in like on my pc.

[marlonxp]

Hey thier is a java app named cmessenger (It vibrates and beeps when u receive a messae)its great. And their is a series app named agilemessenger its better. (It can send pics it has a push to talk service u can take pics and send them instantly.)

[Technoboy]

But this so called instant messaging feature can be had depending on the phone. The Sony Ericsson phone has an IM feature plus if your phone is java capable...you can download many different instant messenger files to use such as X-Messenger for MSN.

[death_knight]

agile messegner is the best im app i've ever come accross in my entire life. you guys should check it out if you got a symbian phone.

[wolfman]

with agile messenger i know there is a "push to talk" feature, how do i use this.
