eBuddy Lite Messenger is free. But your mobile operator may charge you for using mobile internet. Check your price-plan to see what you pay per MB of data usage.
eBuddy Mobile Messenger is free. But your mobile operator may charge you for using mobile internet. Check your price-plan to see what you pay per MB of data usage.
You can use eBuddy Lite Messenger on the following devices:
It really depends on how actively you are chatting. Here's an indication on what a typical session with eBuddy Messenger could cost you:
20 minutes of intense chatting (about 50 lines): 0.06-0.08 MB
60 minutes online with little activity: 0.03-0.05 MB
This indication is for when your mobile operator supports 'socket connections'. Most mobile operators do so. If your operator doesn't support socket connections, the data usage may be more.
The Lite Messenger supports MSN, Yahoo, AIM and GTalk.
Since we know that Mobile Internet can still be very expensive in most cases, we have made sure that the data-usage is as low as possible. There are still many mobile operators that charge as much as €5.- ($7.-) per MB. Not really an incentive to start using mobile internet…. Here is an example if you pay € 5 per MB: with the typical data usage this could cost you:
20 minutes of intense chatting (about 50 lines): € 0.30 - € 0.40
60 minutes online with little activity: € 0.15 - €0.25
This can be more if your mobile operator doesn't support 'socket connections'.
Either way: Check your price-plan to see what you pay per MB of data usage!
No. The Lite Messenger runs in the browser, you do not have to download or install anything.
