does use any messenger to IM use data or does it come with my Unlimited Texting.
i didnt know how to search for this
If you use a program like AIM for Mobile or Windows Messenger, it uses data charges. If you use the OZ Messenger Program that AT&T puts on the Tilt, then it uses both data (to connect/see who is online) and SMS (every single chat line is sent via SMS). At least, this is my understanding of it.
Check out Palringo. It uses data.
G'day champs!
I signed up for the x-series pack... wondering if anyone knows how to get the three services such as windows live msn etc etc... everytime I try, it gives me an error message
"Sorry, Windows Live Messenger isn't available on your mobile"
"To find out about upgrading your mobile, please call 3 Customer Care on 133 320"
Alternative: Install the actual windows live messenger app from msn website. With this option, I wonder if the data usage be counted towards my allowance?
Thanks
You won't be able to download 3's MSN messenger. You would need additional site certificates to be able to use them. These certificates are only included with 3 branded phones.
Just use your own client and use data. Yes it will be counted towards your usage, but it won't be that much..it's only text afterall. Be sure to monitor your usage from My3 and/or use the bundled GPRS monitor from the HTC cd.
I use the official msn version from MS, it doesn't use much data at all.
Also on the X-Series plan, but it does count towards your data as it's not the "3" client.
Thanks for the replies guys... Appreciated
While I am at it... I shall ask another question...
Windows Live Messenger adds all my msn messenger contacts to the contacts on my phone... now my contacts (phone book) is messed up with like 100s of email contacts...
Is it possible to change the settings so that msn messenger does not save the email addresses in my contacts list?

Here's a couple of sites to download it from. If they don't work, just google and you will find more.
The twitter support (or version 2?) has been around for a little while definitely.
FWIW, I normally visit http://m.fring.com to download straight to the phone I think.
In the end, I disabled the twitter plugin, as I found it to be too light in features for my tweeting needs - I found PockeTwit to be perfect. However, if all you need is to send simple tweets and to read other people's outpourings, it is good to see it included in Fring.
hmm, pretty sure fring had the twitter function added pre-xmas?
whatsapp now in market place as per the latest blog on wmpoweruser.com. unfortunately The reason many of you wont be able to see this is in marketplace is because your Windows Live ID hasn't been added by the author to the permissions page.
But good news is that it's coming sooon
Also found a link to download the Xap file if anyone interested in trying...
can you put the link INN here, or send the xap over to me via PM ????
But better not this one here (can't download anything from there).
Thanks!
WhatsApp working
Hi

Was not able to post the link, since I am a "newbie" here!
You can thank me later
thanks!! it works!
Thanks a bunch!!!!!!
Hmm can aynone tell me whats better with WHatsApp, as with the other Messengers? there so much, i dont know, what i should use. There is ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber, MSN, Hotmail and much mor. Is it the same or do i have any advantage with WHatsApp?
WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. It uses you phone contact list to search for the people who uses whatsapp those phones can all message each other! Because WhatsApp Messenger uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing, there is no cost to message and stay in touch with your friends.
In short, WhatsApp bypasses any complex contact importing process by comparing your phone's address book (People hub) with a list of registered WhatsApp users. You still have to set up an account with them, but this is dead easy and once that's done, you will see your WhatsApp contact list populate with people already on your phone.
Can't do that with the other messaging apps.
thanks!! it works!

i agree though i am more greedy than you ...this (whatsapp), Skype, Layar (augmented reality apps) and good gps navigation are things i was still booting android ....whatsapp will make my andoid booting less frequesnt though i am still waiting for other 3.. ...
This version of whatsapp is less than satisfactory .. i dont see refresh or contact sync .. no landscape mode support.. Pictures sent in attachments .. do not auto rotate ...no zoom in pictures and no options to save the pictures..
It only works with Mango, doesnt it?
Awesome, have been waiting ages for this. Thanks for the xap, its working great
yes it works. thumbs up to the hired developer at whatsapp. seems he knows what he does. very interesting coding though (reflecting it currently). i fear there is a hole that i can use any number i like once i installed and confirmed it after i get the 3 digit configrmation code
i always have been curious as to how whatsapp became so famous.
to me, the REAL cross platform messenger are windows live messenger or yahoo messenger, which iphone, android, wp7, symbian, blackberry has.. AND EVEN PC. whatsapp is limited to handphones.
live messenger or yahoo messenger is able to do MORE things than whatsapp.
the only thing whatsapp has compared to those IM, is that you do not need to add people to your contact list.. people in your phonebook appears automatically..
wont it be superb if you can access whatsapp on PC too?
you can. on windows 8

Funny, people in my WLM/MSN contact list automatically showed up on my phone
It's just the other way around, same principle though: "unified" contacts - So i'll stick with WLM/MSN, there's a wide variety of clients available for PC (windows, linux, mac) and pretty much any phone.
This is a very good news for wp7 users
Hello,
I am evaluating switching to WP8,my question is: is there any app to allow me to chat with Google Hangout contacts, and does it sync with Google contacts ?
Thanks in advance to anyone answering me.
Google contacts (and calendar) sync automatically, yes.
I haven't tried any of the Hangouts apps, but there are several available that offer group chat.
If you just want basic chat, then any app which supports GTalk (Jabber/XMPP) should still work, although I think Google may be phasing out that support in their ongoing quest to remove features that people use but which don't make money for Google. IM+ (and many other chat clients) support this protocol.
Thanks a lot for answering.
Perhaps I could evaluate to switch also to another chat system, like Viber.
Thanks
