Which is the best WP instant messaging app that combines multiple chat networks? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)

This thing is pretty impressive....it also does aim, google chat, msn, icq, yahoo and several others...had the voice chat going in the "modaco" group and the whole time I'm downloading a file to the phone at 20k per sec...worked flawlessly...oh..it also has a version for the windows desktop (xp, vista, 2000 etc)
I'm really liking this messenger service, only kind of problem i have with it is I can't keep chat windows open as a session or window. unless i'm missing something

Facebook Chat Client for WM6?

such a thing doesnt seem to exist. Surely such an app would be pretty popular?
Searched the web for this also but not luck yet The inbuilt chat on facebook doesn't work on Opera Mini 4.1 on my vox - in fact if i leave it on it displays a bar that just blocks other things.
I read that facebook is looking to make their chat jabber friendly (whatever that is) but i do believe that will allow most multi client IM programs to use facebook chat.

Jabber is like AIM or Windows Live. Google Chat is Jabber, for example.
Oh thats good news then. So when it is jabber compliant i can see most free IM clients for PPC and Smartphone will add facebook support. good news!
I to have been in search of this. hope thet get it sorted soon. palringo was said to work but to no avail

Messenger with support for multiple logins

What I really like about the new Live Messenger is that it supports multiple logins. I can stay connected at home and at work at the same time, and the conversations are syncronized bethween all my computers.
However, the Messenger client on my Touch Pro does not support this. When I connect using Touch Pro, all my other clients are disconnected.
Is there Messenger client out there that supports multiple logins?

There are quite a few of them. Read my Messaging bible in the Wiki.
When I say "multiple logins" I don't mean "logins to different networks". In short I want to avoid this message when I sign in to my MSN-account on the Pocket PC:
"You were signed out from here because you signed in to a version of Messenger that doesn't let you sign in to more than one place".
Thanks!

OIC. I don't know of any of them. I'll check the latest version of Agile, IM+, Fring etc. to see whether some of them already supports this (long-needed) functionality. I'll keep you posted.
(Sorry for the delay!)
Great! Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to implement.

How about a good multi-login (different protocols) client?
not possible with MSN as far as i know. the service does not allow it.
Aim allows you to be logged in at multiple locations however.

With the old MSN Messenger it was not possible.
But it is possible using Microsoft Live Messenger.
However; is it possible on Windows Mobile?

Messenger Sleep Mode

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:
http://www.seven.com/products.mobile_IM.html
Perhaps this is a nice feature, it seems to have push options.

[Resolved] [Q] Why is WM so poorly supported by big names?

In my attempt to get the most out of my WM powered device (HD2) i could not help realizing that windows mobile is not among the targets of big software names like Yahoo, Skype, Fring, Google and what's more intereseting not even by Microsoft...
Take for exemple Google... it has it's Android... and the thing that it is best at is integrating anything google related into android phones: mail, calendar, contacts, photos, maps... you name it.... and they do this out of the box... and with the best user experience keeping the looks of the web based counterparts...
Yahoo and Skype... they both have IM clients for Android, Iphone, Symbian, Blackberry... but NOT windows mobile... WHY?...
Fring is perfect with anything but WM
Iphone and Android are so new on the market yet everybody supports it asap.
As for Microsoft you would've expected at least to integrate their own apps into windows phones... but they don't... They have the live app wich integrates messenger, contacts and mail... but not in the best way... I would've liked to see something to directly make a space entry from your phone's interface, to directly publish a photo or to send a file to skydrive... to have calendar synced at its full web potential... i know you have the exchange emulation like google but what about alternate calendars...
Bing is another thing... we have to install it your self instead of beeing fully integrated into your windows phone....
So the question is how come WM lost terrain being that it is the oldest on the market and has such a computing power in support of it (I guess we all agree that MS is a giant)?....
Karma is a ***** for MS
give a windows mobile 6.5 phone to a normal user.
let him use it for some weeks.
then give him an android phone and let him use that for some weeks too
look at the result.
now think if ur question was really that good
