No Tcp??

Ok so for my IM problem, someone told me to go to options/ advanced options / tcp.....

I do not have that option. in Advanced options my last 2 things are ...Host routing, service book, sim card.

what is your im problem?

I downloaded AIM and got it installed but when I try to log on it hust will not connect.

I downloaded yahoo and it would not connect

I downloaded ramble and it would not connect.

I downloaded palringo, got it set up, added AIM, and AIM would not connect.

what are your NXTL???? all capitols?

yes

My NXTL is in all caps

Yes i have the latest OS. OS .204

Also

Many people have posted that AIM, Yahoo, et al, work fine on this blackberry on boost.

I have asked how exactly, but have not gotten a response. I assume they have gotten these clients to work.

have you tried WIFI?

yes to wifi

yes to OTA

Anyone have any other ideas?

where did you see that aim worked on a boostberry?

here is what post 1 says in the workarounds.....

Text Messaging, SMS and Chat:
There are two options. One is Instango instango.com - Mobile Instant Messaging an all in one messenger and SMS client. And then there is Beejive Beejive - instant messaging anywhere. Just a IM client. I would use instango for this but it runs the battery down very quickly and Beejive seems to do a better job at keeping my battery life.

If you use a program called Beejive. It doesn't cost money to receive a text or SMS but it also has instant messaging which is free and easy to use. It will talk to Google Talk, AIM, MSN, Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo and Jabber clients. I chat on it all the time. Works great with wifi or not.

So what I did was I signed up for the instango service and got the email address they provide for free. I then used Beejive to sign into the instango jabber server. Then I set up the forwarding to the email address and when I get a text it pops right up to my Beejive IM. As for sending messages it doesn't. But I just go to Google Voice and send free Text messages from there

The Mike BlackBerry Curve 8350i lets you instantly connect to your crew with Direct Connect� and send emails with a full QWERTY keyboard. Add to that Integrated GPS, a 2 mega pixel camera, and built-in Wi-Fi, and you’ve got a smartphone that never quits.

Your very own pit crew is optional.

Wow


Look just cause you did not know how to do it you do not have to jump all over me. Most of the links had the work boost and AIM. Also a few of the people in those threads clearly said they had boost and AIM... so yes it must work.


Just so other people do know how to do it. I downloaded Instango. It installed easily. Then I was able to log on with out any problems. Then all you have to do as add AIM. Yahoo IM also worked well.

If you have any questions please PM me.

i did not mean to come off as "jumping all over you". i just wanted to state that the links you gave do not say boost in them at all, and i was tring to explain (simply) that they were all differnt then what you were asking for.

im sorry for sounding harsh.

i am glad you got it working though... happy boosting

Guys,

I have BB 7520 running OS 4.1 and I have been trying for the past month to get the AOL AIM download version to upload on my device to use for SMS but no luck!

I have boost mobile, and cannot download OTA so I am stuck! Any ideas will be very much appreciated!!!



Thanks

help,
can the regular instant messenger (aim and yahoo) WORK WITHOUT downloading a 3rd party downloading????? please help
