Good AIM program that uses SMS?

Hey guys, I am looking for a good AIM program that uses SMS and not data. Free would be awesome too if possible. Thanks guys.
I tried OZ Messenger but for some reason it won't intercept the incoming text message saying that it signed on. Like it will send the text message to the user and not the program, so the program does not acknowledge that it has signed onto AIM through SMS.

Isn't this how AIM Mobile works?

Check out IM Forwarding and IM to Mobile options. Both of these use SMS messages. AIM Express uses a net connection (so thats not what you are wanting).
A number of people I work with (with basic phones) use IM Forwarding and IM to Mobile and they receive and send messages to AIM contacts via SMS.
There may be better solutions, but I do know these work.

I use IM FORWARDING, I wish there was a program that you could just save your buddylist to and send text to their screen name.
There's a certain format you can type to send from your phone to a screen name.

here's a good read.

Just create a new contact with their name and their IM under the IM category. It will send the message to their IM address but you won't be able to tell if they're online.

to sign on
send a text message to number 4646 - in your text message type SCREENAME(space)PASSWORD example bobster PaS$W0rd111
to sign off
send a blank text message to number 4647 to sign off
get you buddy list
send a text message to 4650 - in your text message type list
to get the number associated with the buddy
send a text to 4653 - in your text message type help
beware - it sends a list of 7 buddies per text. So if you have 140 screen names on your list, expect 20 text messages.
to send a instant message to someone from your buddylist
send a text to the number associated with their number
to send a instant message to an unlisted screen name
send a text message to 4654 - in your text message type SCREENAME: (space) message example bobster: hello

[Q] Combine Text Message Thread and Send

Hello,
Is it possible to develop an Android app that looks at the text message thread/conversation to a particular phone number, combine the text into a single document/group and then send to an email address?

If so, I would want to hire someone to develop this.
Thank you

Group Message as Picture Message

I am running Mango Beta 2 on my HD7 and whenever i use the new contact group message feature some of my friends get a picture message instead of just text. Anyone else having this issue and know of a fix?

Disable "Group text" in the messaging settings panel.
Of course, this also limits the ability for the phone to group these messages together as intended. The only way for the phone to know that these messages are "grouped" is by MMS, because MMS inherently allows additional information to be attached to it (such as header information, kinda like how e-mails can have additional hidden details attached to them). Without this additional information, a text message is pretty much just a line of text with a phone number attached to it.

That makes sense. Thanks for that

[Q] Free worldwide texing over Wifi, 3G and 4G any developers intrested in making

Dear Developers
Is there any developers out there please who is willing to make an app that we can send text messages worldwide using our mobile phone number over WiFi, 3G and 4G.
Make the app available on Google playstore and apple app store please or if its for android make the apk available to install
I'm from UK London
I have found two apps that work on android and apple app store is 24sms works not all the time sms are sent and I was using blacbocs nearly two days then the app stopped working cause the when i try to get the verification code via SMS its says error before they sent me the code to enter then I enter the code I to the app then it was good to use.
The free text messaging should recognize our mobile number or we input the number in the app so the app recognizes it and verifies its that number we are using.
If I send a text from UK London to any countires they should receive my text instantly.
For developers I think the making the app dose not require that much work on it becuase just the case of you routing the making the text messaging go via data connection.
PLEASE PLEASE we need something like that at the moment there are some apps claiming to send free SMS worldwide but that don't work all the time.
I got an apk file called Namaste free SMS this works sends using my mobile number but sends same text twice without my number second text containing I like to phone as the sender first text contains my number as sender.
Here is the apk file upfile.mobi/373931 if any developers can modify or improve the app or chage the look and feel and remove the second text that sends sender i like to phone click on download next to the green arrow facing down

Whatsapp mod failing - does it check itself for mods somehow?

Hello all -
I was trying to take a peek into Whatsapp, following this YouTube video.... (wont let me post full link yet) watch?v=dZzGUNm_yX0
I just used jarsigner to sign the modified APK (and I also tried this guys ZipSigner example). The App loads on the phone fine, asks for SMS verification. After I punch in my number, it says Connecting - then while its on the page waiting for the 6 digit code , I get another message saying that I have a bad version of Whatsapp, and to download it from the appstore again. The SMS message never gets sent, and I never have a chance to put in my code.
Any ideas how the app would be checking itself? Is this a know thing with whatsapp - how can I bypass it so I can tweak it?
Thanks
