    Logging in to MSN, ibuddy takes at least 5 minutes (so far) "retrieving contacts", at least that is what it says it is doing. What is it doing and is it normal to take this long?

    Are you sure that your browser supports ebuddy ?

    well i logged in msn just fine took about 2.5 minutes to load all contacts i got about 75 of them and even done a little chatting. the only problem i had was after about the 3 folder where most of my contacts was stored i couldnt scroll any further to see contacts that i might have wantwd to chat with so need to do some checking in on that. other than not being able to scroll thru my contact list it seemed to work fine for me

    The buddy list is cut off... this is a deffinate bug on the iPhone at least...

    The interface seems pretty nice otherwise...

    ebuddy says the server encountered a problem and could not handle my request. It wouldn't even allow me to login. Am I doing something wrong?

    Sorry, I don't have an iPhone, I wish eBuddy give me as a gift :)

    ebuddy worked quickly on my iphone, but i found it hard to 'bookmark' as the url is instantly changed to something that doesn't work. Ebuddy for iPhone needs a 'bookmark this page' which saves a valid entry url.

    ebuddy worked fine for me (on wireless and only 1 contact), but it is hard (impossible?) to bookmark since it changes the url to a non-entry point. Ebuddy needs a 'bookmark this page' which saves a valid entry-point url.

    I have a question: do I get charged in my phone bill for the messages like a text?
    I am using a wifi for now buty what if I want to use it while using edge or 3g?

  12. protesto // 16 July, 2008 08:46  

    You'll be charged for the sent and received data only.

    what are the risks of username and password going through here, ie: via ebuddy servers, how do we know they are safe?

  14. protesto // 07 August, 2008 13:34  

    Ebuddy is online since years, it's safe and trustworthy.

    just so i can be sure... if i log on and message my friends each message will not count as a txt message? i only have 200 txts so i dont want to use them all... i have unlinited data so that is not a problem

    It is through Safari so it obviously doesn't count as a text message.
