I liked that AIM messenger on the tilt and wish to use it on HTC rom. I'm pretty sure my old cab I used for the wizard can be used, but just wondering any way that program can be brought to HTC rom.
you do you know that one uses text messages everytime you send an recieve a message, it is not using data?
I believe these are the two cabs that come with the AT&T Tilt ROM

Yeah, I just found that out today. I NEVER use SMS and I checked my online statement and figured it out. Thankfully I only sent 7 messages to test it out. Too bad, its a nice client.
I did the same thing when I opened up my tilt, i do like the client, I am fond of agile message too so far but prolly will go with the free version from UK
Try IM+ instead.
when I used the aim service, I was connecting to GPRS. If it uses SMS, will you get charge for data, too just by being connected?
I have unlimited messaging so its a okay, but id imagine it would use data considering it is a pda and most likely will have unlimited data plan.

I am not sure if that is what is going on.. I simply logged into MSN Messenger and Yahoo using OZ Messenger via the ATT Stock ROM. I have been receiving the messages ever since (about 200 hundred of them - at least I have the unlimited text message plan). The message is generally either WVCI 1.1 333 (sent from 1111470600) or WVCI 1.1 444 (sent from 1111470400). I will attempt to find out more about what is happening.. Stay Tuned..

sms
im also getting a weird sms message with every im login. I have a tytn 2 with the stock htc rom. it sent them to me when I was trying to get a oz program working and all the time now as im using mundu.
Ok.. To resolve this issue or actually workaround the issue, change for password for your MSN Messenger, AOL Messenger and or Yahoo Messenger accounts. Apparently once you login with your password, the OZ Network stores the password. The text messages we have been receiving are sent everytime someone on our contact lists signs into either of the 3 IM services. OZ needs to address this issue but OZ does not communicate directly with end-users therefore AT&T needs to help resolve the issue.
Anyway, change your passwords (once I learned about the contact list, changing the passwords made since so I attempted and verified) and you will get NO more text messages from OZ. In the meantime, the only solution is NOT to use OZ.

This is a well known and documented issue with OZ Messenger with the tilt, and 8525 before it. Search the Hermes/8525 forum for the detailed explanation of what's happening and how to stop it, and how to prevent it from happening again.
The above mentioned workaround in the last post sort of works. But basically, log into the OZ Messenger again, and log out properly. The messages happen when you close OZ IM WITHOUT properly logging out first. ANother way to stop the messages is log into IM on another PC. This is force your phone connnection closed. THe SMS messages are basically a "ping" SMS from OZ IM's servers since it uses SMS messages. Ultimately, I recommend you NOT use OZ IM and use another IM program.

I agree on not using the program again.. Unforunately logging in on the PC does not work. .. And yes, I close the app without logging out.. What a crappy bug to have.. Thanks for the additional info..
What program can we use?
i really liked that one.
Does anyone know if the programs in the AT&T Tilt Instant Messaging use SMS? I have no text plan, so I would hat to use it then get a big bill.
do u bother to search? yes it uses txt.
Yes, AT&T took off WindowsLive with their free messenger that uses your unlimited data service and put on there IM client that uses sms so that you have to still pay them for every message sent.
great thanks for letting me know.

Well, we'll just have to install 3rd party IM apps!!!!...
Hi, I have searched google and these forums for answers to my questions but could not get a definite answer or solution to my questions.
My first question: What is a good program for internet messaging such as AIM and MSN that uses only text messages rather than data usage? I am not on a data plan but do have unlimited text messages...I would be okay if it used WIFI too....
Second question: I have heard that MMS uses data connection. I have my data disabled but would like to have the option possibly available to me. Is it possible to send/recieve MMS w/o the use of a data plan? Perhaps wifi if possible? or a program that allows the sending of MMS w/o data interference?
Thanks in advance for any help!
it uses data.....i have the unlimited text messaging plan that includes IM's and MMS....its the family plan for 29.99 i believe
yea, I have that plan too, it says mms is included, but you dont think it will use data?
also, no IM clients that are supported purely over SMS?
You can try the OZ Instant Messaging client. From reports it sends over SMS. It has been reported it does use a small amount of data when it signs you in or out of the service but after that its all SMS based.

you will not get charged for the data when sending MMS....it will come up as data on your bill but will not get charged for it..so send as many MMS as you want because thats what the plan is for...
as for instant messenger...get the OZ isntant messenger..it comes with the shipped rom (or you can download it like the guy that posted above) and it will use data to log in but you will not get charged for it..and each IM counts as SMS. As long as you have an instant messenger that comes with the original ROM it will count as SMS and will not get charged for any data transfers

You can send free SMS by using AOL instant message as long as the receiver has an iphone but you cannot send free SMS to a different phone besides the iphone
It's not free SMS. It's Instant messenger. It uses your data plan.
here's the beta from AOL for WM.

Not according to the /. article. You can send to any SMS capable phone. The article clearly states this can go to any phone.

It IS sms. it goes through the data plan.
did you guys read the article that I linked?
The receiving phone gets an SMS. The SMS is sent by the AOL servers. Similar to going to the ATT website and sending an SMS. This same method can be used from your desktop AIM client to send an SMS to anyone.
I send SMS through AIM all the time. Just add the number +1 (area code) (7 digits).
does the AOL client for our phones allow us to do this? guess I could install it and find out. just wondering.

I think you are missing the point. If you have an unlimited data plan, at least in the US, you still pay over and above for sending SMS. If this does use data instead of SMS, there is a savings.
This would be awesome if each message wasn't proceeded by "This is an instant message, you can reply to this"

So my question is... can I text over wifi?
Here are the details: In two of my college classes, I get no signal, but have great wifi access. I want to be able to use something to text over wifi while in those classes. I just installed google voice after a quick google search... but it seems like you have to change this to be a permanent default messaging app (which I havent even tried to do). Most posts Ive run across have been people that want to text for free, but I have unlimited so thats not an issue. I really like handcent, so is there a way to text over wifi or an app just for those two classes or while Im at school or something without having to change the default messaging app 2x a day?
Thanks in advance for responses =]
You can't send SMS messages over a Wi-Fi connection with your default messaging app, so that's out of the question. You can use GV, but it you don't need to make it your default messaging app to send or receive anything. If you bring your computer to class, you could use Gmail, the Google Voice website(Which would be faster than your phone), AIM, or you could just not text anyone in those couple of classes and pay attention. In fact, that's what I recommend.
Pingchat is free, awesome and multiplatform (android, blackberry, iphone). Your friends also need a smartphone of course.

Okay MOM haha. Ill see If I can use GV for just a temporary fix... and Id rather not bring my laptop to school, its an inconvenience. My phone fits in my pocket. My classes are really easy and sometimes my text message conversations are much more interesting.

Ill try that out, I dont really like the fact that all my friends have to have it installed, but thats definitely a start!! thank you for the advice
I actually use GV as my primary form of SMS (I opt out of SMS on my plan) for unlimited SMS and free SMS to Canada.
If you do go that route, I recommend using this older version:

The newer version has an annoying lag to it.

Thats seems okay, the only problem with that is that I would have to ask all of my friends to install that, and not all of them have phones that can install apps. So that is a good idea, but I dont think it would work.
I have a small SMS plan with ATT. I downloaded the GV app and leave it running. I see no lag for what I use it for.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
So I tried google voice and I can still make outgoing text messages without having it be my default app. So I think this still wins for people in my situation. I had a heck of a time getting a google number though, I ended up just doing it through my gmail and it was much easier.
Thanks guys for all the helpful advice!!
