Arrow free AIM software

Please Login to Remove!
i tried out the 7day free trial of the IM+CHat but dont want to pay the one time only fee of $49.99. In the faqs the free AIM link is broken. Infact, couple of the third party applications are bad links or no longer available.

the AOL instant messenger access link is towards the bottom in the link. "http://www.ramble-im.com/ramble/"

there are no free apps that work. you have to pay to play or use one of the SMS based programs.

there is a free AIM ICQ MSN program that i got from a different forum. i won't mention their name b/c from what i know, these two forums are competitors.
it involves installing programs for a different OS.

i have both AIM n MSN and they both work perfectly fine

Although it isn't free,
I <3 Jivetalk. So much that I bought the went "all out" and bought the User License for the extra 10 bucks....
Great program. The new Beta is wonderful, if anyone has tried it......GREAT WiFi support(in the beta).

BBf has no competition. Its the only BB forum as far as I am concerned most others are just wannabes.

Default Not entirely true
Your comment might be true for Verizon but Sprint provides AIM for free.

When I had my Tmobile 8100 it came with a program that allowed you to use AIM, ICQ, Yahoo and MSN. It wasn't SMS based either. I would check with Tmo blackberry support.

For TMO it is OZ and it is SMS based. I use GTalk and set up a AIM account on it via Jabber. It really does work. Search for the GTalk threads and it will walk you through it. I have support for Yahoo, MSN, and AIM and it is free
