Re: Instant messaging....help?

[elialshadowpine]

I'm a long-time fan of Trillian; I've used it since 2004, and I love the features they add. The fact that they have ads now is annoying but IMO it is worth the $20 or so, especially since you get all upgrades for that version, number, and they usually last 2-3yrs or so. Plus, I was especially pleased with their customer service when I bought 4.0 and about a week later they announced 5.0... when I went to buy 5.0 I got it for $5 because I had bought 4.0 so recently.

I also like that there are mobile versions and a web-based version so I can log into it from basically anywhere.

However, a free version that allows you to log-in to multiple IM protocols is Pidgin, as has been mentioned. It's not as pretty as Trillian, nor does it have as many bells and whistles, but it's functional. I actually use it to connect to Dreamwidth IRC because it handles message tracking better. (There is a plugin that lets me track how many new messages are in the taskbar, vs. Trillian which just flashes.)

Meebo.com also works if you want something purely browser based!

Ah - i didn't realize Trillian was a paid program. I'd be looking for a free one. I basically need to be able to chat, to send a file/receive a file, and for others to be able to adjust the font size so they can see better. I always turn off every single 'extra' function of YM - no noises, no themes, no music, no nothing, so 'no bells and whistles' sounds fine.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, Trillian does offer a free version on their website.

Cool, i'll be checking it out, thanks. :)

Re: Instant messaging....help?

Yes, they have a free version. Just I believe the latest version inserts tiny text ads every so often, so for me it was pretty annoying. I don't think the older versions do that, though.

Re: Instant messaging....help?

[elialshadowpine]

I think the ad thing is with newer versions; I don't remember it with older ones and I don't know if they added it in. So I'd see if you can find a download for 4.0

But Pidgin will do all the stuff you're asking about, free :)
