Send and receive free texts and video calls with Imo.

Imo is a free app that lets users send text messages and enjoy video calls – all you need is an internet connection and you’re good to go!

If you’ve ever needed a way to keep in contact with friends and family on different devices, Imo is definitely worth checking out. Unlike some other cross-platform messaging services, this app was designed from the start to work even on older devices with slow connections.

With this app you’ll be able to send free unlimited texts and voice calls to other users, enjoy large video group chats and even share photos and videos, all right from within the app!

This instant messaging app for android also comes with a load of customization options too! Love stickers and emojis? Imo has you covered! You'll find hundreds of stickers, emojis and animated GIFs to help you say more and type less.

One thing that really makes this app stand out is the fact that it offers full encryption, helping you keep your private conversations private. Encryption is automatic and keys are automatically swapped once you initiate a text or video call, so you won’t have to worry about doing anything manually.

Regardless of whether you or your contacts run Android, IOS, Windows or Linux devices, you’ll be able to stay in touch with Imo as long as you have an internet connection. Please note that if you use this app on your wireless carrier standard data rates may apply.

While we really like what Imo has to offer, there are a few things you should be aware of before you download it. First, the program will sometimes “force” downgrade (revert to an earlier version of the software) without warning. Other users have complained that calls to certain regions (Oman and Kuwait in particular) are of poor quality.

Aside from a few minor issues, Imo is a great way to avoid SMS and data charges on your device. If you want a safe, fast and easy way to keep in touch with the people that matter to you, give it a try and see if you like it!

Imo is a messaging app that is compatible with iOS, Windows, and Android devices.

Imo is the perfect solution for users who want an app that supports free video calling, instant messaging, voice chat, and group messaging. One of the biggest advantages of the program is that all your communications are encrypted via SSL by the service. This makes it a great choice for those of you who value your privacy.

Unfortunately, it is not compatible with other messaging platforms like Google Hangouts. You can only message other IMO users. With that in mind, Imo is still a great messaging app that is very well designed.

Pros

  • Chat with contacts from many sites
  • Send videos or simple messages

Cons

  • Hard to stay connected

Send messages to your friends whether they are online or not.

This is an app to use if you want to chat or have a video call with your friends or other contacts. You can also chat with others who are on the messaging system and who aren't on your contacts list. The contacts that you have with Facebook, Skype and other social media sites are available for you to send messages to and to talk to via video. With IMO Messenger, you can send a simple text message or a detailed message that includes pictures.

The app is simple to use, and you can talk to more than one person at a time. However, if you add more than one person, it does tend to slow down, and the messages are delayed a bit. This is an app that you can use if you find that you're on multiple platforms to talk with people on a regular basis. It gives you the freedom to combine all of those contacts to make contacting easier and faster instead of logging in to each site just to find one person you need to speak with. You can also attach stickers and other fun images using IMO Messenge

Pros

  • Chat with contacts from many sites
