Multiple account instant messaging
eBuddy lets you connect to most popular messaging networks, so you can chat wherever you are.
This free chat app is supported by ads, but fortunately they are really not intrusive, and you'll hardly notice them at all. Like any messaging client you need an account, which means first creating an eBuddy account before adding other web messengers.
eBuddy supports lots of networks - MSN, Yahoo!, AIM, Google Talk, Facebook, ICQ, MySpace and Hyves. Adding them to the app is as simple as entering your details, and you'll be automatically signed in. All your account contacts will be listed alphabetically, in online and offline groups. This is fine, but if you're signed into lots of services it can get pretty busy!
eBuddy is very user friendly, and you'll have no problems opening chats with your friends. Each service varies slightly, but in general, chats follow the 'bubble' design seen in the iPhone's SMS app. It works in portrait or landscape, great for people who like the larger keyboard.
eBuddy is a functional and attractive messaging client, offering a good range of networks in an easy to use package.

The Best Free iPhone Instant Messenger.
Where as Meebo is the best Instant Messenger for Android, eBuddy is the best for iPhone. eBuddy allows you to hide your offline buddies and it doesn't suffer from the same connection problems as the Android version does.The only downsides to eBuddy is it is set to sign off once closed by default and can at max signs off after 12 hours of being inactive. There is no way to have it always stay on. The ads in the free version can also be annoying as well as the sign in message that pops up any time your signed into the same AIM account in multiple locations.This being the best free Instant Messenger for iPhone I recommend this to everyone. Just make sure to set it to not sign off for 12 hours or you might be signed off once you close it out. Make sure you also allow for push notification so you know when someone messages you as well.
Pros:
Less Connection Problems Than Android Version
Push Notifications
Free
Cons:
Ads For Free Version
No Way To Keep eBuddy Always Signed In
Popups Each Time Your Signed In On The Same AIM Account. More
