Iphone 3g, jailbroken, 3.1.2,

I want to get rid of my Text msg...I wud still have internet on my iphone.....but I need an IM app....
that will alert me when I recieve a msg, even when the phone is in stand-by

Also, this app, if it requires to turn on NOTIFICATIONS, must not eat away my battery life :(

plzzzzzzzz advise .... thanks in advance :)
 
Also an avid Beejive users... Has been updated for 4.0 (fast app switches and high res) Push notifications have always worked great.
 
I used im+ for a long time due to the browser function. After trying beejive I have to say it blows im+ out of the water!
 
I agree with everyone else. Unfortunately it is the most expensive, but it is definitely worth it if you use IM a lot on your phone. I've tried many others and then finally bit the bullet and purchased Beejive and have never had the urge to try another IM client.
 
Another vote for beejive. Sure it costs money, but it is the best out there, imo.
 
I used to use Beejive on both my iPad and iPhone but recently switched to IM+. I like it a little better, but honestly it's your preference. I also used Trillian and preferred it to Beejive as well, only because it showed me when someone else was typing.
 
Does Beejive indicate whether the message has been received and/or read once sent? I used to have Blackberry, and Blackberry Messenger is one thing I miss with iPhone. Been trying to find a good replacement for BBM on iPhone.

No I don't think it does. I also noticed it doesn't tell you when the other person is typing either.
 
Beejive is my primary (bought the day it was released) and I keep Trillian installed as a backup. Needless to say, i've never needed to use Trillian. Beejive is that reliable and stable.
