Instant Messaging On Iphone 4

Hi,
I just have a question on push instant messaging. Does the Iphone 4 support this? For example, if I sign into gtalk, msn messaging, AIM, etc. and someone send me a message through these services, will I be able to see it instantly?
TIA.

Thanks guys for the quick response.
My other question is a little stupid but does IM counts toward your text messaging? I know it's a data-type service so it should charge your data usage but AT&T stated in their messages plan. I'm not planning on getting the unlimited txt msg plan so this does matter to me.
"Message any way, to anyone in the U.S. Send and receive 1500 text, picture, video, and Instant Messaging (IM) messages. Additional messages are 5 cents each."

How do I instant message on my iPhone

Sorry, but I can not figure out how to Instant Message on my iPhone. I called AT&T and they told me about the Settings but I can not comprehend how to actually send an Instant Message.
I refuse to text and thought that's what my daughter was doing but she was IM me. AT&T said I do not get charged to IM.
Could someone please give me a step by step method?
Please........

Sorry, but guess I'm just stupid. I guess I must be referring to iMessage?
Yes, I had gone into Settings>Messages>iMessage>On... But after that I got lost.
I wanted to send a photo as my daughter did to me but simply could not figure it out.
I tried clicking on the photo and send but must be doing something wrong. I even asked my daughter how she did it but of course she's didn't know. She was afraid it had gone as a text message which she knows I don't do.

Instant messages sent via ipad2 are showing up on my wifes iphone

Why are my instant messages sent via ipad2 showing up on my wifes iphone?

The two devices are on the same iCloud account. You can actually keep the same iTunes STORE account without having the same iCloud account. On your iOS device, go to settings, and then the iCloud tab. Here, you can choose to delete this account from your iOS device (Not delete the entire account, but just remove it from the phone.) or create a new account. I would recommend setting up one iCloud account for yourself, and one for your wife, while keeping te same iTunes store account so you two can share purchases and other things. Sorry for the delayed response.

Instant Messaging on the iPhone (AIM,Yahoo,MSN)

Are there any talks of instant messaging becoming an available option on the iPhone.

There is plenty of talk by users but none from Apple. If Apple is planning on providing an IM application for the iPhone at some point, such information is not announced or discussed ahead of time by Apple.
There are plenty of web based methods for accessing IM on the iPhone which work well.

Cant find instant message on my mac book pro

im running snowleopard on my mac book pro and i cant acess or find my instant messaging, no icon, and cant find it in finder or anywhere??? i bought it in 2011, its actually my sisters, my 2009 MBP works fine, any answers out there?

In answer to your second question, it wouldn't matter much on your sister's MBP, as Snow Leopard doesn't support iCloud for messaging (or for much of anything, though you can force a few things). Her iChat is limited to AIM instant messaging and such.
On your MBP, which according to your profile is running Lion (10.7.5), you also won't have access to iCloud messaging (iMessage) unless you installed the beta-test iMessages application and somehow kept it running. (I have heard it can no longer be installed and may no longer work at all. That's third-hand; I haven't tried it.) Your iChat will also be limited to AIM and such.
For those with iMessage-capable phones and computers, there is a choice to be made. Apple's apparent concept for iCloud would suggest that you would use a single iCloud account for all of the devices you individually own or use. (I do that; my wife does also, with her own ID.) That model works well when, for example, you want to receive all the same iMessages on all of your devices. Even if you don't, there are ways to keep them separate (e.g., use the phone number to send/receive iMessages on your iPhone while using an email address on the MBP).

How to use instant messaging

how can i use instant messaging with other iphone just like blackberry messaging

At this time, there is no instant messenger application as Wright explained. Apple has not devouted to adding an instant messenger system nor widgets to the iOS, except by SMS and FaceTime.
You can download many instant messenger programs in use for the iPhone. Most of which are free. There are also group messenger programs that you can record your instant messengers within.
Palringo, eBuddy, Skype, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Google, and many more keywords can be used on the App Store.

Instant Messaging no longer works for me..why?

Instant Message came pre-loaded on my iPad 2 when purchased over 2 years ago. Always worked. Ever since downloading IOS7 and related fix-packs, no longer works. Ive gone to Settings and what I see does NOT match the directions apple.support. What is going on? Do I need a reloaded app from the Appke Store? If so, which one? Maybe I need an appt with my local apple store for a look-see. Yes, I've shut the iPad down altogether and brought it back up but it still is not working. So annoying,

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

New instant message has old message that reappears every time I select new message. Cannot get rid of it.

Iphone 4 new instant message screen has old message that reappears every time I select new message. Cannot get rid of it. Any known solution?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Is it possible to delete individual instant messag...

I understand how to go into tools and delete my entire instant messaging history, but can I delete individual text messages and, if so, how?

No.
Deleting individual calls requires iOS 5, which is not compatible with the iPhone 3G. The latest iOS for the iP3G is 4.2.1.

Print messages from iphone facebook app

i would like to print msgs from iphone facebook app,inbox messages,which i hav unfortunately deleted on my computer facebook inbox,how do i print msgs..i have an epson iprint app n epson printer...

Hi,
This Menu item only works if you have Buddy Lists (any other account other than iMessages).
By default there are two accounts in Messages when you first start it up.
The iMessages one requires the Apple ID but the Bonjour one only needs to be Enabled (Check box in the account settings)
Bonjour is the one that uses the fact Macs can "see" each other on LAN and then uses this to Instant Messages to other Computers (Macs) on your LAN.
Once the iMessages account has an ID it should be logged in.
In the Main Window select the "To" spot.
Type in your name *as it appears in the Contacts App > My Card.
Select your iPhone Number.
Send an iMessages to your iPhone Number.
The main window should then show the sync of the received message of the iPhone making it look like you are talking to yourself.
If you have not already the next step is to add the Apple ID in use in iMessages on the Mac on to the iPhone Settings for Messages there.
this then links the iPhone and Mac for iMessages purposes.
Next in iOS 8.1 and Yosemite you need to enable the "Text Forwarding' on the iPhone. This (if you are close enough to your Mac) should make the Code Number appear on the Mac version
Type the Number into the iPhone.
Now they should "sync" SMS messages.
Summary.
You can't tell other than trying to send an iMessages whether the account is logged in or not.
From what you posed I can't be sure if you have done the pairing.

Instant Message Pictures

Instant Message Pictures only stay thumbnail size, and do not load to big size! I push the arrow next to the thumbnail, but the pic never loads...even on previously sent IM pics that I had before :-(.... I had no problem with this before iPhone 5. Anybody know what's up with this? :-)

Which IM app are you using on your iPhone? If the IM app you are using on your iPhone supports this and you didn't receive it, contact the app developer for the app since this is the app developer's responsibility.
If the IM app you are using on your iPhone does not support this, you need to use an IM app that does.

i suffer same issue using skype for modern windows. but on andriod tablet and iphone, skype perfectly functions.
to guide you accordingly, here are the answers to your questions:
1. already tried restart and returning from sleep mode, I cant send IM
2. this version of windows 8 is not touchscreen so there is no onscreen keyboard
3. other apps perfectly functions, using Messenger ok
4. version of skype is 3.1.0.1005
on other hand, I cant even shift to desktop version of skype. everytime I attempt download the skype, on the first small installer, it redirects me to download the larger file.
running the bigger file, it says "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher"
I ope you can give solutions. thanks
Try to install the currently latest Skype 6.22.81.104 desktop version using this msi-installer:
