XP_Mainiac Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Iv been hammered here and there by online friends for only having MSN messenger and none of the other chats. Do I need to install those other chats like AIM,YAHOO,ICQ,in order to use this? The reason I tell people I don't have the others is I don't want to install them because of all the crap they all come with when installing them. So do I need to have all the others installed to use Trillian? Also,is the free version going to do since I'm really not all that much a chatter? Thanks in advance for the reply :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lazydesert Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 in trillian there are separate connection buttons for each of those different types of chat clients. you dont need to have yahooIM or AIM installed to use trillian.. trillian is a complete replacement. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ibetheone Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 No you don't need to install any of them to use trillian, all you need is an account with those im providers, thats it. The free version is okay, but I would definitely consider about using the pro version, has lots of options and features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 XP_Mainiac Posted September 21, 2002 Author Share Posted September 21, 2002 So I just install Trillian,and set them up? What if you dont have an account?I do to AIM and YAHOO,but lost my ICQ one. Thanks for your reply :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ibetheone Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Forgot to mention, thats what I like about trillian if you dont have an accout with those im providers, you can use their add an account option(choose the medium) to click and create an account with no problem. Easy as 1-2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 XP_Mainiac Posted September 21, 2002 Author Share Posted September 21, 2002 CHOICE man ! Thanks for all the info ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 XP_Mainiac Posted September 21, 2002 Author Share Posted September 21, 2002 Sorry,forgot to ask one more thing. As for the free version VS. the $25 version. I don't really have the money right now and want to know if I will be regretting it in the end. Is there really that much that a lite chatter like me might miss? Thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AGMW Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 If you are a light chatter definitely go for the free version. The pro version is aimed at corporate users as opposed to those at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Geronimo Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 you would only really be missing the plugins for trilian. i bought the pro version and love it but if you really are interested but cant afford it the free version is great for a chat program. BTW here are the features for the pro version: http://www.trillian.cc/trillianpro/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Arpit Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 this is what i did...i installed icq, then installed trillian *it needs the contact list info from icq*...then uninstalled icq...and never had to install msn or yahoo or aim...trillian works just fine now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
XP_Mainiac
Iv been hammered here and there by online friends for only having MSN messenger and none of the other chats.
Do I need to install those other chats like AIM,YAHOO,ICQ,in order to use this?
The reason I tell people I don't have the others is I don't want to install them because of all the crap they all come with when installing them.
So do I need to have all the others installed to use Trillian?
Also,is the free version going to do since I'm really not all that much a chatter?
Thanks in advance for the reply :)
