eBuddy - mobile IM across networks
eBuddy have now released a mobile client. It is only in beta at the moment but looks to be another one of those apps that operators won’t want you to have on your phone. On most data plans it is cheaper to send an IM message than a SMS. .
It will be interesting to see how services like these survive - in my mind it would make more sense for an operator to embrace these kind of services - and either aquire eBuddy or create their own version and have it pre-installed on devices.
If I had a flat rate plan I’d be using it!
