I recommended BeejiveIM at $9.99, which I bought for my iPhone 3GS back in 2009 but haven’t used much because I migrated to a Google Nexus One last January. Moments later, another Twitter user, Milenkod, suggested I look at TalkATone for iOS and I’m glad I did. It’s a free application that not only supports Google Talk for instant messaging, but also Google Voice for making and receiving calls over 3G and Wi-Fi.

Also, I could cancel the $14.99 fee I pay each month to T-Mobile for unlimited texting if my friends will text me on the google voice number.

This exact thing happened to me a few weeks ago after a couple of email exchanges (gmail) with my girlfriend discussing getting a trailer hitch for one our vehicles. The next day I noticed 3 ads for trailer hitch companies showing up randomly on sites I visit on a regular basis. Don’t think they filter your mail? Think again.

Actually if you take out the word “elfs” (actually “elves”), and replace it with “software routines,” that’s pretty much *exactly* what happens. Google reads your email and your IM’s and determines what adds to send you based on what they find. That’s exactly how it works. Look it up.

Paul,

Thanks for doing the math. I’m starting to learn a lot more from folks who are getting value out of GV beyond my friends who have multiple phones, etc…
