AOL Instant Messenger client called MobileAIM was put up on the AOL beta page. I for one am not that excited about it. Why u might ask there are other clients like Palringo, Jive, Fring etc that already offer this and with those clients you dont need to have multiple application for each messenger , plus I dont have an AIM account . But there might be some specific feature present in MobileAIM that are not available on the other clients.
Anyways if you want to test drive this beta : Signup and Download

this aim beta is a total memory hog...thats the only disadvantage in my opinion and the lack of notifications when users sign on.
Loving the icon pictures!!! thats a plus

Because I've always wanted pop-up ads on my phone!!
I tried it for about 5 minutes.
I received a 'new message notification' that turned out to be an advertisement to try some product, and I immediately removed the application. I understand the merits--as well as the downsides--of ad-based products, but getting advertisements as pop-up notifications on my mobile phone sucks!
thanks 4 letting us know about it mate
You know, I find that it works just as well to just change your email notification settings on facebook. This way, you'll get an email alert when people comment on photos (for example).
Windows Mobile gives you a popup notification of the new email, and then you accomplish exactly the same thing as FriendMobilizer promises, without adding an extra app
Slick

I am currently beta testing tirllian but I might give this a go too. Three questions first though:
1) does it support myspace chat
2) could you give me more info on the message history feature
3) how are users displayed (e.g. does it display their actual account username or does since some networks support changing the display name does it show what ever the end user has chosen as a display name, does it show their contact pic/avatar)
Take a break off on the Angry-Greedy Feeling of Lumia Users being cheated by Microsoft and Nokia... I have another thought on a different angle.
The current built-in Facebook of Windows Phone does not show up or allow users to view a group or a page on Facebook. I just suddenly realize that this could be a missing piece of the Facebook Puzzle of Windows Phone.
I have myself quite a lot of pages and group on Facebook that i get news or receive Notifications, or just simply get interested on what they are up to, but only the Facebook Application support viewing a page or group. Sometime, i just find it difficult just to open + wait and navigate to the specific point that i want the update quick and fast ( not intend to be using the app for awhile, or i mean : Quick Check)
So i think if they can drop a little support for a page/group on Facebook, let's us pin it to the Start Screen, would be a nice thing to have.
So what do you guys think?
As the title says I'm looking for something small and simple that would allow messaging between Windows 7 desktops, android and ios users. This is for a small business I work at so we can do quick texts within our office and to our mobile users. Right now the only one I could find was Viber, which looks like it could work. Anyone know of any others that could work for us? The simpler the better, have to get ~20 people with varying technical levels (mostly low) to all join and make it work. Thanks for any help!
I would say gmail.. you could use the gmail chat on any pc and also use apps like IM+ to connect the gmail chat on phones or hangouts.. and if you want sms you have google voice.

I've been looking at various messaging apps that are encrypted.
Things like
delta chat
Pretty easy privacy
Conversations.
K9 mail with pgp encryption
And others.
They all have various issues
Conversations uses xxmp servers which don't work well if there are extended times offline.
Delta chat uses smtp which is great for offline but it has very little key management features for advanced users
Pretty easy privacy is still beta but promises a lot of good features in the future, but they might go with a subscription service for advanced features(that they call enterprise edition otherwise it might be the best when they get it done)
K9 mail with open pgp key management just is too complicated for everyday people.(sadly it's the best security)
What are you using and why?

I'm kinda a rookie and only play a knowledgeable geek on tv, but security is pretty important to me. So I've tried a few different apps. Currently I'm using a combo of Threema and Signal on my Mi Max 3. I really like Threema. I wish signal had a few more bells and whistles, so I'm casting about for another SMS messaging app. It's not very scientific but one of my main criteria is just how many permissions the app asks for.
Telegram app or website
Signal app
There is no security on smartphones.
Depends on a few things.
1. Keys stay encrypted and on phone not online or "in the cloud"
2. Even if encrypted end to end like Whatsapp, the company was sold to Facebook so.....
3. Has to connect send and receive peer to peer or adversaries attack any centralization because that makes it too easy for them, so no telegram
I think Signal by Whisper Systems is "best", but the phone has android which Google and nsa have backdoored and suppress zero day exploit knowledge and keep discovery secret, so they read and keylog it all.
Ive been using Wickr they seem to be more secure than a regular text messages at least, I hope maybe. They say in their disclosure they dont keep any messages on the servers they use but its stiil the end users device thats the weak point. Lately wickr has been updating alot, which seems to be another term for uploading. idk i may be way off.
I found my rooted Nexus 6 had directories that were hard to get to containing screenshots of my phone taken randomly during a 24 hour time frame and zipped. Also simply watching the logcat it was uploading files regularly, dropbox and I cant find much about it but the Sahara protocol was what seemed to be querying uploads.
I use telegram
The best is to use secret chat in Telegram
It's available when use mobile telegram
