Hi. I need an chat like app that android also has. The other party that I want to text / chat to has 200 messages a month per person which is a small amount. I have the g chat free version, but I need something that is a live tile. That shows the amount of messages that need to be checked ( like the live tile for text messages ) . I have a Samsung Focus Flash. If there is a partial message from the person on the lock screen, that is also acceptable.

Thanks in advance.

I have found IM+ and jiTalk to be the two most reliable chat apps. Both support Google, which I'm assuming you want since you mentioned gchat.

I want alerts. I mentioned gchat as ab example. I will try those.

We use GroupMe, it has live tile support and is cross OS. It also has a web application.

Most people use Whatsapp, it uses your phone contacts so no need to sign up

You don't have to sign up with group me either. I also think that group me has a cleaner UI ( windows phone ) .

GroupMe also has a web application and can be used on a tablet.

In our experience the app works the best on Android, then iOS, and then WP but it works.

it also has an SMS option which works great with unlimited messaging.
