I use a device called the 'telephone'. See I talk into one end of this 'telephone' and instantly my friend gets the message, then I instantly get a message back through the other end of the 'telephone'. That's all I use.

The telephone is so passe in pop culture. Well, unless it's smaller than 1/4 your hand, and has unlimited nights and weekends...

Well it's a good thing I am not into pop culture. I probably won't ever own a cell phone.

Prefer aim, it's the least retarded out of all.
Use yahoo & msn, but really only for one girl. MSN is clunky, emoticons suck. Yahoo has the best emoticons, but it's kind of a pile.
IRC as well...
 
MSN. It's built in so there's no more junk to download, it's pretty polished, and it has nice alert system (the popup window in the task bar, the remote assistance, etc.). I do like Yahoo's video chat better however.
 
I have contacts on all 4 (about 80 total), so that's why I use Trillian Pro. There's no way in hell I'd install those other clients (and my emoticons are just fine and I have a ton of useful ones like (middlefinger) -- using the Microscopic skin). Most of them are AIM and ICQ, but have a few on Y! and MSN.

You can actually have big phone orgies. Costs money though...

Your in an existing 2 person conversation, one person goes to their other line and dials a number. They can then presh Flash and the call is transferred to the existing conversation. One person can only add one person using this method..

Well...at least around here....my grammer sucks and I'm tired get used to it
