    Default AIM SMS Palm App?

    Hello all,

    Wife and I are looking at getting a 755p and a Centro from Verizon with an unlimited text messaging plan.

    It seems the Verizon PalmOS phones do not have an AIM app. After doing some searching and calling around I found the mobile.aol.com site which talks about AIM txt and IM 2 SMS.. which works.

    I was "told" there might be a PalmOS app that would act like an AIM/YIM app.. buddy list, status, etc.. But I have yet to find one - they all seem to use a 'Data Connection'.

    Searching on forums for the terms "AIM" or "SMS" or "AIM SMS" is 'too short' and never gets any results, so I can not imagine that I am the first.. If this is a common answer I could not find it.

    Thanks in advance.

    (Not a single VZ rep was in favor of a Palm device.. I had to ask several times for an answer to my question: "How do I do AIM on the 755p or Centro?" I can not accept an answer that includes the words "Blackberry".. :P )

    Hello,

    Thanks for the answer but the manual seems to tell me something different than what I was looking for:

    Pre-Requisites
    Make sure you have the following with you before we start:
    - A PDA which runs Palm OS.
    - An active Internet connection on your phone
    (EDGE, GPRS or WiFi).
    - Atleast one of the following Instant Messaging accounts:
    MSN, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber or Gtalk.
    Thats it! Now we get on to the good stuff.

    I am looking for something that does not need Internet.

    I am looking for something that uses SMS.

    Thanks in advance.

    Doesn't the built-in messaging program use SMS? Take a look here for Palm's description. The big question is if Verizon has disabled that so you subscribe to their paid services. I don't have VZW so I don't know...

    When I had my 650 I used Toccer, a great program, but I believe that used data.

    EDIT: If you are holding out for an IM format that uses text messaging I think that will be a hold up. They work off data and I think that is what allows for things like the Buddy List. I am not a text expert though.
