INSTANT MESSAGING

AIM 5.9 helps you manage your busy social life. With room on your Buddy List
® feature for over 500 friends, you can IM all night. Challenge them to fierce online games, make your stories come to life with photo sharing and much more. Plus, your AIM buddy profile is a great place to leave taunting messages for your friends.
EMAIL
AIM® Mail is a mere click away from the Instant Messenger
™ service. With 2GBs of storage, a handy "Unsend" button and industry-leading spam and virus protection,
AIM Mail is the only email you need.
TEXT MESSAGING

Never be out of touch. Your buddies can send an IM that you'll receive on your mobile phone even when you are away or offline.
VOICE CHAT

Sometimes you have to hear it to believe it. Use Voice Chat to go from typing to talking with anyone on your Buddy List window. Talk all you want because it's free*.
*No equipment installation required. All that's needed is a computer with speakers and a microphone. A headset or USB phone and high-speed connection are recommended, but optional.
VIDEO CHAT

Look your buddies in the eye while you chat with them. Video chat lets you switch from an Instant Message chat to a high-quality video conference.
