Agile or Verichat to purchase?
Ok my trial period for verichat expired. Agile gives me the annoying message about upgrading to the new version; which has the trial period as well. Windows Mobile works funky. Which one should I purchase?

Since Verichat is no longer for sale, it seems your decision is an easy one.

Verichat is the best. You can find one around.

I am using IM+ and I think it worth every penny of the one time purchase cost.
I have tried Agile trial period and it is indeed a nice software too and I liked it but I don't think it worth to be paying yearly for such a small software.
I would have purchase Agile if it was a one time purchase and purchases future upgrades if I think I needed them.

They all suck for one reason or another, but these are the ones I've tried & my opinion of them.
WebMessenger: no tabbed chat, subscription based, can't send/receive files (photos)
IMOV: Ugly interface, no tabbed chat, can't send/receive files
IM+: ugly, no tabbed chat, can't send/receive files, initial investment is expensive
Agile Messenger: horrible tech support, expensive & subscription based, still has a few bugs
Live Messenger: Flaky connection problems, only supports MSN
None offer the ability to keep you logged in if you lose your wireless connection & deliver your messages to you when you come back online as Verichat did. |

Spoke to support on both Webmessnger and IM+, both have file transfer on their to-do lists. Agile can only send pictures and voice files (PTT).

I wonder how long before they shut down the Verichat servers? With no revenue for the produce anymore, it's only a matter of time.

IM+ does keep logged in and even when wireless drops then it will keep trying to reconnect.
my wireless always drop when I am in the basement and reconnects when I come back upstair so IM+ reconnects.
you need to set it in the setting to reconnect when dropped and set how many time to retry.
I set mine to 999 retries.
And I don't think it ugly but it is pretty plain compare to Agile because of it's tabbing feature
