non data IM?

uninc4709 · 06-14-2008, 12:11 PM

well i was thinking today and it came to my attention that my old-school samsung u-340 had an IM client that did not require data, just used text messaging. so i looked and looked around these forums and other places for a program that may do the trick... turns out i couldnt find one so if anyone knows of one you should let me know cuz im sure im not the only one looking for it.

if you have sprint Q9c or ATT Q9h it comes with OZ messanger which uses texts none of the others do

yeah I didn't either. I knew they had released one the BlackBerries a few months ago, so figured it was worth looking to see for smartphones.

To the above: let us know how it works out.

well i tried but turns out my internet's blocked from my parents, ha go figure so i was unsuccessful in trying to download it and could not find it from a different source, was a huge pain in the ass so if anyone knows alternate sources to mobile IM for verizon let me know ASAP

i'm pretty sure aim will do that for you without a program. you just have to configure it through the pc aim app. i did this with my last phone, it just sends texts to you

sitlet im not sure i understand what you are saying.
