Instant Messaging on Your DROID

So far we have covered SMS and MMS messaging in this chapter. However, there are
many other ways to stay in touch with your friends and use your DROID as a messaging
device. One option for staying in touch with friends and family members is to use one of
the many instant messaging apps available.
The advantages of instant messaging, as opposed to SMS or MMS messaging, are as
follows:
Instant messaging is usually free from additonal charges (assuming
you have a data plan).
Instant messages reach your intended audience immediately.
Instant messages let you have quick, ongoing chats in real time.
