QuickIM instant messenger software allows you to connect to public MSN networks and chat with friends from anywhere you are. It enables you to quickly exchange and send instant messages to other phone and PC users from anywhere without paying any ''per message' charge ! QuickIM is VERY data bandwidth friendly! This is because as opposed to most other messengers (free or paid) that are proxy based, QuickIM uses direct socket method to connect to instant messaging servers, and doesn't need to poll the server for new information every few seconds, instead it sends/receives data only when there is truly a message to send/receive. The difference in GPRS data cost is HUGE! QuickIM is available on almost all major phones, you can easily get a QuickIM for you and your family members to stay in touch even when you are traveling. And unlike other mobile messenger software, QuickIM instant messenger is the only ProxyLess messenger providing the following unique features: » confidentiality of your messages because as opposed to most multi-network products, your messages go directly to MSN servers instead of through a third party vendor?s computer » no annual subscription fee because QuickIM doesn't need to charge its users any maintenance/bandwidth cost of proxy servers » more reliable because QuickIM connects directly to the instant messaging server, while other products that use proxy servers have an extra layer of point of failure » compatible with WIFI, Bluetooth for Palm devices (Tungsten, Zire 72 ...), Nokia Communicator 9500 ... » compatible with private secure QuickIM corporate instant messaging networks Download QuickIM from http://www.quickim.com
