    Default AIM Software for 650?

    I downloaded the AOL AIM software for the 650, paid the $20, and have not been able to connect using my AIM screenname.

    Is AOL's software only intended for AOL mail accounts rather than AIM screen names? Is there inexpensive software that I can use to connect with AIM? I just want to be able to chat live (not thru text messages), see my buddy list, and stay on in the background. I've seen the reviews for Verichat, but it seems ridiculous to have to spend $25 a year to subscribe on top of all of the other costs and fees for my Treo service!

    There may be an issue with your carrier and your settings for data. Or it may just be a configuration problem with AIM. I don't use it so I don't have any settings to share.

    I can get AOL names to connect, just not AIM screen names. Any ideas?

    The AOL software is just (at least presently) for AOL subscribers, not for the free AIM screen names.
    Verichat is a good service, albeit with the fee you mentioned.
    Mundu works well too, and I think it is a little less expensive. Do a trial of them, and see what works best for you.

    I have been using Toccer for my AIM chat.
    Go to this site ---> http://www.atomiccog.com/products/toccer-for-treo/
    It is free.

    Does Toccer use text messages to chat or is it just like on a computer
