Thanks for the info.
I use yahoo mostly, but I will check out google talk for aim.
As far as I can tell, only outgoing email comes out of my bucket, sms, incoming email and IM don't. I'll have to check my bill.
Thanks again.

RAMBLE...
It's the only thing I use.
I've never had problems with it on my 7520 other than the occational data outage problems that happen periodically....
The latest version is quite stable and I can stay logged on from multiple locations...and the best part? It's free.
Free is good

I currently use WebMessenger. Still on a trial...I really like it BUT not sure if I can see paying $48 a YEAR for it.

For those of u who added me to your Google Talk list, I am going to have to uninstall Google Talk to make room for more apps in the future. Please add me on thru BlackBerry Messenger. Thanks.

I have them all on my 7100i. BB, Google Talk, Ramble, Yahoo messenger. I can log into all at the same time and I haven't had any problems out of either one of them.

I really enjoy using YIM, never logs me off, always logs me back in on startup, and provides real-time chat. BB Messenger is good as well, always stay logged in and most BB's come with it so I think more people have it. I always have to log into Ramble, since the other 2 I dont have to, Im never on Ramble because I forget.

Update: I am now using BB Messenger, Google Talk, RIM's Yahoo! Messenger, and Oz's ICQ (pre-installed). I do have ID's on AIM and MSN.

IM+ can deliver the messages in real time, if TCP/IP is enabled on your Blackberry.
You can get TCP/IP settings from your wireless carrier or find known settings on our Web-site:

I bought Yak on and have since deleted it, has a tendency to drain my battery trying to connect to a network, theirs or the IM's. Just sticking with Yahoo Messenger from Rim and it works great althought ICQ is my IM of choice.

Have you tried removing your battery GirlGirl, had to that after each install on mine!

I get the same message fail to connect on Ramble IM. But I figured it out, you have to disable the firewall then log in Ramble IM, after connected then go back to enable the firewall. It work on mine except once IM got disconnect, do the steps again. I hate it or leave firewall disable.
