Agile Messenger Is No Longer Free – Here Are Some Alternatives

Everton | Sep 13, 2005 | Comments


Agile Messenger is one of the best Smartphone apps and is one of the first programs I install whenever I setup a new phone. Agile Messenger is a great IM client with push-2-talk functionality that allows users to connect with MSN, AIM, Yahoo! and ICQ users, and until recently it was free.Imagine my horror when I learnt after updating the software as prompted and installing the new version that I would now be charged! There are 2 options – €2.99 Euro per month or a one time fee of €19.95.

I know it’s not a lot of money, but I’m not paying as I’m very unhappy as the service has been free for years, so I’m going to try reinstalling the old version to see if that still works. If not then I’m going to try TipicMe which is a Jabber (same technology as Google Talk) Symbian Client which is still free.

  • If I really want or need something, I don 't mind paying. The world of the internet is one where the consumer is actually very spoilt, and baulking at paying for anything is pretty much the norm.

    I can't believe you guys, I just bought Agile Messenger Unlimited with all future upgrades for free.
    You all know this IM is the best, yet you are not willing to support it and want free versions?.
    It's people like me who keep software in development and cheap people like you who make software get discontinued.

    I am having fun with Agile Messenger Unlimited 3.88 sending to 7 IM's and also sending audio and video messages with it!.
    It's worth every penny of the £38 GBP i paid :-)

    I have never found an IM to match it, IM+ comes close..
    But no other supports voice or video sharing in the same unique way that Agile Messenger does!.

    Have fun.
