Can i use Wi-Fi as the Access point for the IMPS client?
Yes you can. The way round it is to copy a existing packet data access point, rename it to say “IM connection”, then go to the IM settings and select that access point setting for connecting to the IM client. Then go back to your phones connection settings and change the “IM connection” from packet data to Wi-Fi. Now your IM client should connect via Wi-Fi instead of packet data.
