Thank you VeriChat /sarcasm
 

For not allowing me to transfer my license from my 7100i to my 8100 Pearl and for offering me a discounted coupon towards a new license. I won’t be promoting the use of VeriChat or will I be using their services again. (n)

That's funny. I don't support wasting money.

Bet the folks at IM+ would offer up a competitive upgrade. Guess VeriChat thinks people use the same device forever...

Who cares -- instant messaging will be offered for free on blackberries in no time..

third party vendors.. eat your heart out!

The license key might be tied to the device PIN -- once enabled, always enabled?

Maybe their internal systems are so poor they can't shut off a certain PIN once it's activated? who knows.. who cares.. i'm waiting for the free stuff.. google talk works just fine on any IM network.

Yeah I can't wait for RIM's AIM client, will probably look the best and work great, and be free best of all.

I moved from 8700 to 8100, re-installrd Verichat, entered my license info and it worked just as before.

They responded to your email? You're one of the lucky ones!

I honestly can't remember having a worse experience dealing with any software company. Ever.

yak-on is a great product as well as does license transfers (i went from an 8700g to 8703e), i highly highly recommend the software

WebMessenger quickly updated my license info for me, recently, when I moved from a 7130e to a new 8703e. In my experience, WebMessenger has been a solid Blackberry IM solution.

I chose WebMessenger over YakOn because Yak-On was killing my battery. WebMessenger works great and their support people answer your questions in minutes.

i agree with you. i can't wait that RIM releases AIM/ICQ/MSN client.

I am using gtalk from RIM now.

Yes this has often been the case. I was suprised Verichat did not. They are now a Nokia company.

Ooh how the tables turn.

In my original email to them I made absolutely clear that I wanted to transfer from a BB7100i to a BB8100.

~MrKyoo

I had to get a new 8700C and it transfered maybe a month ago.

Haha awesome. Do you plan to continue using VeriChat?

Honestly, the only IM program I use is Yahoo and the RIM released Yahoo does very well, I just wish they'd support file transfer and IM logging and maybe avatars if possible.

Not likely, I’m looking elsewhere.

MyKyoo, I want to lower my credit card's APR...Any chance you could draft a great email like that for me to send? ;)

I went with WebMessenger's trial to see how much I actually use it...Yak-On didn't put too much into their page, two different links to random info...

EDIT: Crap, I missed the part where it said you have to be on BES to use WebMessenger. :(

Froogle, I'm not on BES and I use WebMessenger all day.

I used IM+ with my 8125 ppc, my company issued me a Blackberry 7130 and i asked IM+ if i could get a credit, they said yes and all i had to pay was the 10 dollar difference to get if for my BB.
