When it comes to communicating over great distances, many people are divided by their choice of platform. Nimbuzz aims to unify users, regardless of what devices they use. It is a cross platform instant messenger, with various capabilities. Besides chatting via text messages, the application allows you to make phone calls as well, from a mobile device or from a computer. It is available for Mac and Windows and for iOS, Android, Blackberry and other mobile platforms.

The application's desktop user interface has a classic design, but it still comes with a few twists. It displays contacts in a list, along with their avatars and status messages and you can organize them in custom groups. The best part is that Nimbuzz allows you to import contacts from other social networks, like Facebook or Google Talk. Regardless of a contact's origin, the chat window will have the same clean and simple design.

Besides the aforementioned contacts list, you can also find a dial pad and a mail inbox, on separate tabs. Nimbuzz can be used to make VoIP calls, from a computer to a mobile phone and vice-versa. All you have to do is type or dial a number and click a button, if you have sufficient credit.

If you have credit on another VoIP service, you can use it as your default provider in Nimbuzz. You can choose from a wide variety of services in the application's general settings menu, where you can also type in your login credentials to sign into their corresponding accounts.

Pros

You can chat with your friends, using different platforms. The application allows you to import Facebook and Google Talk contacts. You can use its proprietary VoIP service or integrate the application with a third party VoIP service.

Cons

Phone calls are not free, as advertised. Nimbuzz gives you the possibility of communicating with your friends and family, no matter what platform you prefer.
