eBuddy XMS is a no-cost messaging application for Android providing text, photo, and video messaging over the internet.

Functionality and Setup

eBuddy XMS facilitates message exchanges and media files transmission over internet protocol between mutual users of the app. It stands as a meeting point between the original eBuddy and popular messaging apps like WhatsApp. Setting up the eBuddy XMS calls for your phone number input, followed by an activation code right to your phone via SMS. A unique PIN will be assigned to you after successful activation code entry.

Features and Contact Integration

The App lets you interact with anyone on eBuddy XMS, through either their phone number or your unique PIN. A notable feature allows you to scan your phone book or Facebook friends list for any contacts already using eBuddy XMS, thereby making it easier to build your chat list on the platform. The feature-packed application allows you to send text messages, pictures, videos, and understandable emoticons.

Lack of Audio Notes and Other Considerations

Despite its capabilities, eBuddy XMS does not have the option to record and transmit voice files, unlike some competing applications. Instead, it compensates with a group messaging feature that will be appealing to users who frequently communicate with several people at once. As with any communication app, the extent to which eBuddy XMS will be beneficial to you will heavily rely on the number of your contacts using the same platform. Regardless, for those looking for a simple, no-cost messaging app, eBuddy XMS offers a viable solution.
