What IM program to use with Google Talk?

[Marshawn]

What free IM programs do you all suggest to use with Google Talk? I haven't come accross many. I can't stand EQO. I would also like one that works with MSN IM if possible.

MGTalk and Fring come to mind

Fring, hands down.

I'd search for one if I used google talk... but all my friends are ignorant and only use aim.

I'm sorry to say I just can't handle Fring. I will check into the other 2 options. Thanks all. Is there an app for Google Talk and MSN IM?

I've tried Gizmo and Fring - too buggy, sometimes they hang the phone, need to reboot. Pain, Pain.

I use Fring... Has been working well so far.

Do any of the free ones, eg Fring, work on Sony Ericsson?
Thanks

Nimbuzz works also fine with Google Talk en MSN

I'll look into nimbuzz, thanks

Interesting. I installed Nimbuzz and it keeps shutting down on me on my 6630, but I get that with other programs. I haven't really tried to troubleshoot it.

It's an interesting app but the connection to MSN is through their servers. Do the other suggested apps do the same thing? Oh and google talk is odd on Nimbuzz, my requests don't come from my own gtalk ID.

And for fring I forgot that the first time I tried I never got the SMS. Tried it again today and it still doesn't come through. Weird. I opened up a ticket.

Anyone been able to get the SMS from fring on T-Mobile?
