Ask HN: What live chat solution do you use?

1 pointsby fHbjKlf6about 14 years ago
We've been using livezilla for about a year now and have found it has a few limitations such as having no mobile client and the inability to email forward offline messages with the clients email address as the from address. I'm looking for a solution with good mobile support.

I've a similar question and was interested in answers, but absent any I'll share what little I know.<p>We are looking for a chat solution as well. The current lead candidate appears to be 'Campfire' from 37signals.<p><a href="http://campfirenow.com" rel="nofollow">http://campfirenow.com</a><p>- Campfire is a web-based group chat tool that lets you set up password-protected chat rooms. Invite a client, colleague, or vendor to chat. Link to a room on your intranet for internal communications. - web based, nothing to download or install - free for up to four chatters on-line simultaneously, various paid plans - iPhone, iPad, Android apps exist<p>Testing with the free trial will have to wait until after the holiday weekend.
