[POLL]Blackberry Messenger Style Messaging App

Hello XDAders, Sup!
First, Sorry for my english its not perfect *BEWARE*
Second, the theme of this post its about an App that allows Messaging Between Phones of Different OS(Android, WM, Symbian[OPTIONAL], BlackberryOS, iOS[OPTIONAL], OtherSmartPhoneOS's[OPTIONAL]) with the appearance and functions of the Rim Messaging Platform, Blackberry Messenger.
The options that i found where:
Whatsapp
Pingchat
Cnectd
pMessenger
Which of those will accomplish the task better???
The things that i think the messaging app must have:
*Push Notifications
*Always Be On, meaning even if you close the app u will receive messages from your contacts(like Blackberry Messenger)
*Be able to send text, Voice Notes(not more than 2 minutes), Photos and Any type of files[OPTIONAL]
*An Check mark That indicates if message its sent, delivered and readed(like Blackberry Messenger)[OPTIONAL]
NOTE: If you know any other apps that accomplish those requirements, say it! Will be thank'ed

pingchat is the closest to a blackberry messenger clone. None of them are very good at group chat, but they're all "working on it"

I have tried pingchat and whatsapp and I am voting for pingchat!
I even heard somewhere that whatsapp will be free for a year only, then paid.

i have been using kakaotalk, its similar to whatsapp but this is in korean. English version is coming out some time this week though.
Like the simple and nice ui. Never had problems with it so far.

Kik Messenger could work
It's a new app so not perfect yet, but I think this could be the one you're looking for.
Since I'm not allowed to post outside links on the forum you can search for "kik messenger" to get a description

[Q] Looking MSN (IM) app for Android (Gingerbred) with push and talk

Hi!
Give me hint if there are a good MSN application for my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S with Google Android OS v2.3.3 aka Gingerbred).
I have found that some have push support with Android version 2.2+ and some have voice clips, but not talk like the desktop version of Windows Live Messenger or Skype. Android Skype is super (here in Finland it work with WLAN and 3G), but I'm still looking a MSN IM too, becouse I use Messenger on my desktop PC and have more friends from there than on Skype world.
Paid version of MSN are OK, too, if they have push and talk support. Not interesting about voice clips.

I searched a little but i can't find anything. I guess you just have to switch between Skype and a IM app.

BBM withdrawal

Ive been a blackberry user for the past 5 years before i switched and i was wondering what messenger app do you prefer?

I use Google Talk

Theres so many, Live profile, Qik, Gtalk, WhatsApp. ect.

I remember this title "BlackBerry Messenger will launch on Android and iOS"
http://www.bgr.com/2011/03/03/exclusive-blackberry-messenger-will-launch-on-android-and-ios/
But where is it...

Any google voice app (voice+msg) in Android

Hi, I am new to Android. I used iPhone before, and pretty much like the Talkatone app on iOS, as I can make/receive free calls, send/receive free msgs in a single app using my google voice account. Is there an equivalent in Android? I know GrooveIP, but that only fulfills the free call part. I have to download gv app itself to read/send msgs. That's not so convenient as Talkatone does.
Anyone recommend a true equivalent app as Talkatone?

there 2 apps
viber
tango
both free in market
viber to send/recive free call and messeges to any one have viber on
i phone or android or wm workes great ovér wifi and data plan.
have fun

[Q] Voice & Message: Hangout, Skype or Viber?

Hi,
If you are familiar with making voice calls via WiFi, can you please recommend an app to use? I know of Hangout, Skype and Viber but I often use regular phone calld and SMS texting. But recently my buddy had moved to a place where phone reception is very bad. We need to look for an alternative using WiFi. Can you please advise an app to use (even if it's different than the 3 above). The requirements are modest:
1- Light resources
2- Text messaging, Voice call, Video call is welcome but not necessary
3- App should not interfer to propose ads or offers or features unrelated to basic audio and text messaging. For example, Viber stickers is something I deem as useless.
4- App should work in WiFi and Data mode.
5- Both of us use Android. Interoperability with other systems would be welcome but not necessary.
Thanks in advance for any help.

In the Play Store GrooVe IP Lite Free Calls Text, there is a mention
On May 15, 2014 Google will no longer allow XMPP based calling through Google Voice. Since GrooVe IP uses that interface, this app will stop functioning on May 15, 2014

This doesn't bode well for the longevity of the app. Furthermore, this apps is VoIP based and requires Google Voice account that we don't have.

try 'Line' for talk or text. I've used it successfully to communicate to the other side of the planet. I am not sure about it's use of resources but it seems to work well enough.

Thanks for the info. It looks like HangOut can do the job. Overall it does what we need. One of the nice feature is that we can use a computer to send message to HangOut on a phone. Even better on Linux, we can use Pidgin to send these text msg.
Viber is OK but it's sign up procedure is weird, the device must have a SIM card for Viber to work, even if we only use WiFi.
Skype seems to have inferior voice/audio quality compared to HangOut. Also Skype consumes more resources. Whether it's on the phone or a computer. However, Skype has a big advantage that it has a desktop client on all OS platform. Overall, we found that HangOut fits best our needs. Hope that Google will makes a Desktop version of HangOut on Linux.
