I am looking for a way to get AOL IM on my 7290 from Cingular. I tried VeriChat and can't get it to work on Cingular, as did many people from researching their posts. Does anyone have a solution on how to get AOL IM on 7290 / Cingular? Thanks.

Have you tried webmessenger, im+, oz. Just try their trial version before buying it

Call Cingular and ask them to add wap.cingular as an APN - that should do the trick.

Sorry, I am kind of a newbie - can you please elaborate on adding wap? Thanks.

I think it depends on why it is not working. What error messages are you getting:

From my BlackBerryModem FAQ:

Q: I use Cingular. It doesn't work!
A: It works now, but it is a little tricky to set up at first. You have to telephone Cingular and ask for these line items to be added to your Cingular bill, if it does not already show up on your Cingular bill, called "Wireless Internet Express" and "Wireless Internet Express Data Connect":Quote:
WIX EXTENDED INTERNET $0.00
WIX DATA CONNECT $0.00
WRLSS INTRNT XPRS PAY PER USE $0.00
Next, you need to use the proper APN username and APN password as follows, in all uppercase, when you start the "BlackBerry Modem" connection when using Cingular:Quote:
Username:
Password: CINGULAR1
It is very important to make sure that all the WIX lineitems are already on your bill, including "Wireless Internet Express DATA CONNECT". This is required for tethered modem operation with Cingular. Once this is done, then there is no more port blocking anymore!

You also need BlackBerryOS 3.8 or 4.0 or later.
