You figure for as long as we had jailbroken software these guys did it for free, now all they ask is $2.99, and out of that they get only 70%, guys...come on...throw them a bone for good software.
honestly, i am disappointed in this product. For $2.99, they should of made everything much more, well, smooth. When the product was in the Installer, it was free and even the icon looks better. I'd stick with the free solution (AIM) for now because they will eventually come out with the push-notification and all my contacts are on AIM. In the end, I just hope they update this product to be more visually stunning and not just another AIM client that looks exactly like the free solution. Just my 2 cents.
The + is used for the country code. He probably has friends overseas who has an iPhone.
Why pay 2.99 USD for this when Palringo is free and does pretty much the same thing?

When Apple releases the update to allow us to close apps and still be connected via servers, I'll be happy keeping my 3 bucks.
You could always make a new iTunes account
I'm probably gonna download it though I don't really trust these guys to be honest.
I wish this was free... Palringo gives it a run for its money. So does AIM. But this is a great GUI, but pricey for just a IM client.
for those who haven't visited the homepage of mobilechat...
Ladies and Gentlemen were live on AppStore.
We have a number of confirmations from New Zealand users that MobileChat is on the AppStore.
This is great news for our users and TERRIBLE news for us. While were excited that its on AppStore. We had no idea that the push behind MobileChat was so big! Our server load is going through the roof as I write this email and were quickly beginning to feel the heat.
With that being said, I just want all of our users to know that we are a very SMALL company. (Theres really only 2 of us!) As a result, were struggling to keep up with the demand and scale as we need. (This is a good problem.)
We will have a support site up ASAP to answer your many questions. In the meantime, please email support@twenty08.com if you should have any questions.

P.S: Were all very excited! Please bare with us during this time while we recover from the initial AppStore beating!
UPDATE: We will be provisioning new servers throughout the night to improve stability. We took the precautionary measure of ordering a few servers over the past few weeks while we awaited our launch, so we wont have to wait for our datacenter to provision new servers. Please be advised that as we provision new servers, you will be disconnected and reconnected sporadically. Again, we ask that our users bare with us and the service as we continue to handle the load.

no app runs in the background. do u mean maybe in sleep mode? or are you referring to push?
what's up with these guys? weren't they just not too long ago whining about how apple was delaying the release of their app and blaming apple for the delay on their development blog, saying it could be released any day now.....any day now, and now that it's been released, they are basically asking people to be patient because they are somewhat unprepared and need to wait for their datacenter to provision the new servers......i find it funny that they blame apple and now their datacenter but of course, they had the good sense to order servers long time ago but now the datacenter is more or less at fault in provisioning the new servers? puhlease
LOL Not surprised. I bought this and I can't connect. They blame Apple for not releasing it and now they blame them for releasing it and crashing their servers.
I won't buy this app since it doesn't seem worth buying an IM client when I already have one that was free and suits my needs. Now, if this was AgileMessenger from Installer that we were talking about...
(Please port that and put it on Installer or Cydia!)
