WebMessenger has two primary products/services you can subscribe to through our website: (1) WebMessenger Mobile for Skype and (2) WebMessenger Mobile IM.
(1) WebMessenger Mobile for Skype
There is a free version that allows you to access up to 20 contacts in your Skype buddy list, see their presence, chat with them, and initiate a call to them.
The paid version ($3.95 per month) allows that plus access to any or all of your Skype contacts plus the ability to establish a call for up to 4 participants.
(2) WebMessenger Mobile IM comes with a full-featured, free 15-day trial. This product provides everything found in the paid WebMessenger Mobile for Skype product PLUS you can access all of your contacts from all of your IM network accounts (AOL, GoogleTalk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Yahoo) for presence and chat. After 15 days, the trial is over and you will need to subscribe ($5.95/month or $34.95/year) to continue using it.
So soesraider, since you actually trialed the WebMessenger Mobile IM client, just go to our site and download the free WebMessenger Mobile for Skype client at webmessenger.com/products/mimskype.htm.
On your request for multiple active logins per service (e.g. log into 2 separate MSN accounts concurrently from our single WM client), we have debated inclusion of this capability for some time now. So the best I can say to you here is that it is in our product plan but there is no scheduled release date for it at this point.
And I would be remiss if I didn't ask what you like better about the IM+ GUI
Thanks,
Joe

Does anyone know if the Skype version of WebMessenger works after the trial period? I sort of got the impression that the fee was for the other version that allowed all the IM accounts, and the Skype version would somehow keep working after the trial period was over, locking out only the IM accounts (MSN, AIM, etc).
I downloaded and installed the Skype version of WM, and now my trial is over and the whole thing has disconnected, incl from Skype. I just want to know if that's intentional, or do I need to fiddle with settings to get the Skype portion working again permanently? I don't need the other IM clients. I can get those through IM+ (and a better GUI, imo).
I just don't want to have to license WebMessenger and IM+ if I'm only using the Skype portion of WM, which the website *seems* to indicate is free, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's only free to licensed holders of the full version.
In fact, since Joe Naylor seems to be on this thread, I'll note that since you do such a good job of the Skype version, I'd be more than happy to make WM my only client if it did multiple activelogins per service (and kept the contact lists separate). That's how important that is to me. I'll find a diff way to handle my Skype contacts (such as only on my desktop), but I need those multiple (concurrent!) users while I'm wireless. I'm willing to put up with the poorer GUI (imo) if I could have all the rest.
Thanks in advance!
