Chatting

Do you like chatting? well, most of you that spend much time with internet should know well about massenger. Massenger is an application that let us chat with someone around the world. There are some popular massengers, which are : MSN massanger, Yahoo massanger, AOL massanger, etc. I my self use yahoo massanger and MSN massanger to chat with friends all around the world.

How about if we could not reach the internet because we don't sit in front of our PC, yet we want to chat with friend? I have a friend who has girlfriend studying abroad, during this time, when they like to communicate, they use massanger to chat plus a webcame to see each other. The problem is, that my friend couldn't always stay tune in front of the PC because internet is still exspensive in this country :(. and if chatting through sms, the cost is too high, so sms is not absolutely a good idea to chat.

Do you know that selular phone can be use as massanger with very low cost? Well, actualy just a few type of phone could do it, because the this application must be istalled first to the phone. also the phone should support GPRS and also your SIM Card also is support GPRS. There are many popular mobile massanger, but the most popular one is Agile Massanger.
Agile Massanger run in many platforms or OS, such like Symbian, UIQ, and Microsoft Product (Windows Smarphone and Windows Mobile). I my self use XDAII as my phone. Because it's OS is Windows Mobile, so Agile Massanger could run well.

About the cost, how exspensive is it? Well... Agile Massanger run through GPRS so that the calculation of cost depend on data we receive or send. In Agile Massanger, there is 'Traffic Counter' menu that calculate data we use during chatting, its “In” and “out”. Note that data size is represent as kb (kilobyte). Tariff per kb data is different from operator, but it is definetly much much cheaper than sms. In my country, it takes IDR 300,- or IDR 350,- per sms, and it takes about IDR 11,- untill IDR 25,- per kb data through GPRS.

Base on my own experience, chatting using this massanger through my phone takes a reasonable prize rather then using sms. We could chat as long as we like without to worry our bill will go high because it is so cheap, also you could monitor the tariff by accesing 'Traffic Counter' menu.
So, by mobile massanger, we could chat anytime or anywhere withaout having to face PC and connect to internet. As long as there is phone signal, we could chat with anybody. Isn't that cool?
