Palringo Instant Messenger: a Free Alternative

[D-Love]

ive tried to add my aim account about a dozen times and it wont add it. my friends have had the same problem

Ditto.

I can't add any accounts. I've tried Yahoo, MSN, and AIM. None of the services will add.

It seems there is something wrong with the 1.1 version (I'm having the exact same problem):

I've been using it with my MSN/Live account and it has worked great. Free alternatives ftw.

I've been using it for about two weeks now, it works great, never had any issues and I love the interface. (I only use msn)

I actually like palringo. I've been using beejive since I got my iphone and just switched to palringo. I use it with yahoo and have had no problems connecting or sending messages. I also downloaded the mobilchat app and so far, I don't like it at all. I will continue to try all 3 services until I can fully decide on which one to keep. I wish that the iPhone would run a native message app, but that would use sms and even the native apps have problems. I guess everyone has to decide which one is the right one for them.

no msn, no use... sorry, but when mobilechat gets fixed i will be using that.

Just as an FYI, Windows Live Messenger IS MSN Messenger.

i've used aim for quite a bit and it's been pretty good. what's wrong with it?

I absolutely LOVE palringo. But HATE the name.

Maybe I am lucky but I have had no issues with this program.

palringo is a blessing compared to mobilechat. just downloaded mobilechat to test it out and I couldn't get it to work.

I just stumbled upon this app and I love it...been using it with yahoo/aim and it works flawlessly. Can't wait for Apple to allow background processes so I can leave it running

Without it running in the background so that one is instantly notified of a message, what is the advantage to these wannabe messaging apps over basic email?

I tried out Palringo and I still think the AIM app is better

Solution!

Try downloading the client for your PC or Mac and add the accounts through that. You can then delete the app and try connecting to Palringo on your iPhone. The accounts you entered through the PC/Mac client should work at that point.
