iPhone to iPhone messages with push?

[rapidblue]

Nothing beats Yahoo messenger with push. Nothing

I must admit - been using iPush*t for a day or 2 now - not bad, needs a few enhancements though. Had a look at tetfree - not bad but seems bit "slow" in loading and displaying speech bubbles (just doesn't feel right).
Yahoo seems to be the best option still. Come to think of it, I can chat with friends on BBs too that way - so it's free messaging between iPhones and BBs
@Behshad, have you had any random disconnects from Yahoo or does it seem stable?

 

[Behshad]

Very stable indeed.
I like the fact that my buddies in Sweden can send me a msg using yahoo on their iPhone or even pc.
I know that it may go into idle mode as my status. But they know their messages pops up like a text message on my screen even when in sleep mode.
This helps also when we want to skype eachother since skype doesn't have push.
Now if the could add voice&video chat to yahoo messenger for the next iPhone

Yea, Yahoo Messenger is awesome, mine has been staying connected until I sign onto YM on my pc, and it's very very stable, never had one problem, and you can send pics too!

In fact, every Yahoo app is top notch, the Yahoo Music app is the most stable and highest quality music player I've tried out of many.

+1 on the yahoo.

Did a bit of a search but can't seem to find anything...

I'm looking for an app that allows free communication (text) between iPhones. Obviously want the app to have push as well so as to notify the other user that they have a message.

I found Telegram by Polar Bear Farm here which looks really really awesome but I'd like something that does text instead.

Any ideas?

Thanx guys

Um...since your looking at apps that use internet...why not use email? Push or fetch, you will get notified of a new email.

Thanx for the info guys - you guys been awesome!!! Yahoo it is
@shutter - trying to stay away from e-mail - don't want to receive message, delete it, send message, delete it etc etc.

iPhone needs its own version on PIN messaging that the Bberry has.

that sounds like a corporate email list

Type of app I was looking for - like BB Messenger.
Seems that Yahoo Messenger is the best bet, iPush*t as a close second.

Hopefully one day Apple will bring out there own official version

Just got disconnected from Yahoo
Been testing it the last few days - Logged in with account A, exited the app on the iPhone (was logged in as idle). Check 2 days later by logging in from account B on my computer and shows account A offline - didn't keep me logged in for 2 weeks, only about 2 days - not as stable as suspected
Gonna test again though and see...

I don't think it always is able to keep you logged in for that long, 2 days is a long time anyway, I open mine up everyday so I'm always logged in.

The description on the App Store said it could keep you logged in for up to 2 weeks though

 

[iApplicate]

This is good info for me too! Thanks everyone!

Yeah, and it's worked for me. I've never been logged off unless I intentionally do something to log myself off.

Keep in mind that if you reset your iPhone or power off your iPhone, you will be disconnected.

Could you really get disconnected if you turn your phone off? I do that like once every 2 or 3 days. Will have to test that...

I really liked BBM when i had a blackberry. I thought it was a good idea. It would be pretty neat for iPhone to do that but i dont think AT&T would ever approve of that.

I agree - BB Messenger is allowed on ATT so an Apple version for the iPhone should be too - doubt ATT would block it if Apple ever made their own version...

How about Tansee iPhone Transfer SMS ?


you can have a try!

Sorry @yearl, think you misunderstood the topic. Not trying to backup SMS's, but trying to send free msg between iPhones (like BlackBerry Messenger)...

Ok. found another app - it's actually brand new on the App Store. It's called Messi.im - [URL="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=323660462&mt=8&at=10l3Vy]iTunes link[/URL]
They say it's free for the first two weeks so grab it whilst you can!
Also a free messaging app between iPhones with no "keep me logged in" time...
I haven't tried it yet but if anyone has can you please let us know what you think of it?
Thanx
