Hey,
I was wondering if there is an application that let's the windows live messenger connected in sleep mode. I tried searching the forums and found something about OZ messenger which had a push function?
Is there a way to get windows live messenger to have a 24/7 connection and push messages?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
After have tried various IM clients I would recomend Fring (FREE) and IM+ All-in-one(Non FREE).
On both you can log in simultaneously to Skype. Messenger, Yahoo, etc.
Fring also supports voice calls on skype + VOIP (SIP providers).
IM+ all-in-one does not support voice calls, but has push capabilities (very handy).
Both will keep your presence on 24/7.
I personaly only use Fring.
No HD2 version of fring? Can't find it on the website, isn't there a push addon for the windows live messenger since I like the interface?
Check this out:

Perhaps this is a nice feature, it seems to have push options.

Hi all,
I've been searching everywhere and have not found anything on this so just wondering if anyone knows if the following exists. I use MSN Messenger for IM and I was wondering if there is a client application for Pocket PCs that allows you to make a video call (using the front camera) to your buddies.
In general, are there ANY clients besides the MSN Messenger network (Yahoo? AIM?) for Pocket PCs that supports video calling using the front camera?
Thanks,
Jeff
Microsoft Portrait is the only one, there are quite a few posts regarding it on these forums, just use the search, and you will find them.
It's not close to being an IM client like MSN, Live Messenger, Yahoo, or anything like that though.
hi
i have been using palringo which is great or handling different IM accounts and contacts unfortunately it does not support skype IM.
does anyone have any good recommendations for something else that supports skype IM (NOT voice or video calls etc)?
i have tried Fring which is OK but not particularly configurable re notifications etc. and eBuddy is java and fiddly to use on my htc touch hd.
anything else out there that's good?
thanks
don
Yeah, now that fring dropped Skype, is there any alternative??
I only would like to have skype IM, and facebook IM in one application...
nimbuzz is very good
Does nimbuzz exist for Windows mobile?
It does, and free
Thank you, will try! I looked over their page and I forund only HTC android devices to be supported.
Since nimbuzz quit skype, the problem exists again!! Any new suggestions?? thanks
Any Window Live Messenger apps for Android? WinMo has sweet a sweet official one that you can send voice clips, transfer files on and stuff like that.
Most of the 'MSN' 'Windows Live Messenger' apps I see looks like someone crayoned the design. It's that horrible ;o
Any official clients ?
the one i like the best in MSN talk
there is MSN talk free and MSN talk pro
I'll second MSN Talk, best client out there for android. Unless you prefer something that ebuddy that gives you access to AIM and whtnot as well.
HI all,
I'm wondering if anyone has opinion about which is better: Skype, Fring, or Nimbuz.
Here is my take on it.
About "Voice-Out" and quality of voice communication
I cannot really comment on Voice Out (phone > internet > regular phone) because I only used Skype Out and have never used the corresponding services with Fring and Nimbuz. Skype OUt is OK on the phone
I'm not sure about the quality of voice using Google Talk, Yahoo, MSN, etc on either Nimbuz or Fring. I don't have yahoo or MSN. I'm in China and my internet connect is never very good, even on the 3G networks. If anyone else has opinion about this, it would be cool to share.
Connectivity.
Well first of all, I need to have Skype on my phone because its sort of a standard on the desktop. But Skype does not connect to Google Talk or any other network. Skype only connects with Skype. Skype on Android DOES NOT have video calling. (booh!)
Fring connects to Google Talk VOICE, and I believe it also connects to MSN and Yahoo voice, ICQ, AIM. and SIP providers. But it does not have a desktop client, which is a problem. Fring does have video calling! BUT, only to other Fring client, making this feature pretty useless for me. If there was a desktop client, or it could use video chat with Google Talk network, this would be the winner, hands-down.
Nimbuz connects to Google Talk VOICE, and I believe it also connects to MSN and Yahoo voice, and ICQ. Does not have option to connect to SIP providers. It does connect to Facebook, Myspace, which is probably more usefull to more people (but not to me). But it does not have a desktop client, which is a problem. Does not have video calling.
About usability.
I really hate one thing about the Skype app ... its not clear how to turn it off. You have to go to the my-info tab and select log-off in the status menu. Otherwize, UI of the Skype application is good.
Nimbuz interface is pretty good and has a status bar notification when its on, although that notification unfortunately does not say if connected or not. It does show google profile pics.
Fring does not show profile pics unless the pics are on the phone. The interface is less tab-driven than Nimbuz or Skype...not sure that's a good thing (probably not), although the look and feel is a little more "friendly" IMHO.
Hi,
So no one has an opinion about which has better sound quality?
Hello, I am looking for an app that combines skype chat, facebook chat and maybe other networks in one single list. So far I've been using IM+, but it is veeery buggy and crashes all the time.
I've just installed Nimbuzz, but surpisingly it doesn't support Skype. Why is that, in the past it supported it?
Please help. Thanks.
I haven't had crash problems with IM+ at al, but it's definitely slow. Unfortunately, it was the option that suited my needs at the time, so I don't have a lot of other suggestions to make here.
With that said, Skype now supports forwarding IMs from Skype to a linked Windows Live account 9in fact, the two services are being fully combined, and the standalone Messenger client is being phased out). In a way, you could argue that WP7 already has a bit of built-in Skype integration therefore.
I think what'sapp is also a good app.......

How to link Skype account to Windows Live account?
Or should we link Windows Live account to Skype?
You can probably do it from the latest Skype client for the PC, or I know you can from the Skype app for Windows 8 / Windows RT (if you have something running Win8)
