Theres Is .Although There Was One Piont Where It Was Free..But..Either You Buy It For I Think Its 45 Or 50 Bucks And Use It Without Anii.Monthly FEE Ever.. Then Theres Another Option Where You Pay 11/12 Bucks For 3 Months...There Is A Trial Version Though...Give It A Try...Oonly You Will Be able to Decide If Its Worth It Or Not

Palringo destroys all, in speed, mem usage, and the fact that it reconnects EVERY time, after every call and text and such.... this is what i hated about the others, they dont stay connected 24/7... Palringo is free, lets you do multi im clients like others, and even has image transfer like the expensive ones, you really cant go wrong there... im bout to try slick im, just to test it out...

I'm also curious about potential battery-saving tweaks with Palringo. I'm not a regular user of any IM/chat services, but I downloaded this one just to try it out after what others have said about it here. I had a little chat with the AI "Sam", left the app running in the background, and watched my device lose 50% of the battery in less than 3 hours. Needless to say, I've uninstalled it. Too power-hungry for me.

Palringo Is Ok, But Is Kinda Annoying. You Cant Change Your Font Or Have Smileys, Also You Can Only Have One Aim Convo At A Time, Once U Close The Window The Convo Is Gone, It Doesnt Save.

verichat, was awsome when it worked... it still works sometimes only its out of biz now

palringo on the other hand is free and works great ...which was never really a option previously... but is in beta... and slick is decent ... looks really cheap to me tho for some reason... but its free too and in beta. i haven't used slick that much tho because i'm so satisfied with palringo. and you can remove it off the today screen by deleting the todayicon.dll and the update.dll, but without the update.dll the software won't automatically update... so you might wanna just move the update.dll somewhere else until you need it
