Introducing LiveProfile, the fast, free and easy way to stay connected with friends on any Android, iPhone or BlackBerry device. LiveProfile combines the ease and convenience of a real-time mobile messenger with social-style profiles, pictures, videos, status updates and more.

A better alternative to SMS text messaging, LiveProfile allows users to communicate with lightning-fast message delivery and reliability. Unlike text messaging, LiveProfile displays when messages are delivered, read, and even when the recipient is typing a response, making it feel closer to a live conversation.

To download and install LiveProfile, visit the Android Market, iPhone App Store or BlackBerry App World and search “LiveProfile” or visit www.liveprofile.com/get from your mobile device. And while you’re at it; feel free to add me: LiveProfile PIN: LP8QNVGD

Another great alternative is WhatsApp, but it requires you to give out your actual cellphone number in order to have people add you to their contact list and vice versa.
