Linking AIM ScreenNames

[Juice Box]

How would I set it up so that two of my 3 screen names on AIM would default to being in the "Away" state with a message like "Please IM me at this screen name instead" that is up all the time?

I don't think you can.

Set it as the buddy info for those ones.

On that same note.. how do you get AIM to automatically go to your cell phone when you are away?

Click on IM forwarding

My AIM -> Manage Linked Screen Names...

Tell your friends about it, and to spread the word about your new screenname.

for im forwarding there should also be an option when you click on away to select an away message

you can set it on > my aim > manage linked screennames

If you link your screen names I don't think there's any way you can have only 2 out of the 3 screen names to have an away message, while the third one has none. When you link screen names, setting an away message for one screen name will put an away message for all the other linked screen names.

You can download Aim+ instead. Just open a new Aim+ program thing for each of the screen name and then manually set the away messages.
