Gear Diary TextMe+Call Brings Full Communication Capabilities to iOS Devices photo

For my IMing needs I use an app (on my iPhone, iPad, and on the Web) called IM+.  It lets me use my various IM accounts in one place–Google Talk, Yahoo Chat, Facebook Chat, and I don’t even remember what else.  It’s a nice thing to have if you have multiple IM accounts.

But what if you’re sick of balancing out Whatsapp, Kik or Pinger for texting, Viber or Skype for calling, or Tango for video chat using a whole bunch of individual apps?  A pain in the tuckus, right?  Well, maybe what you need is TextMe:

With this new version, you can now also Call any number in the US and Canada for free too ! Also, if your friends install the app as well, you will be able to do a lot more with them (including Video Calls) ! So choose a nickname and a Texting Number and share them with your friends and start texting, calling and video calling ! and Guess what ? It’s a free app!

What makes TextMe different? With TextMe you and your friends can:

Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. He is nothing short of ecstatic to be working for H-P from his home base in Austin.
