In other words, I sign up for the Vitelity $3.99 deal and then use an alternative outgoing service.

[WM: There are lots to choose from. Take a look at the suggestions in this PIAF Forum thread.]

You forgot federated GoogleChat via XMPP — they are killing that via Google Hangouts.

As soon as you convert your Google account to use Hangouts instead of Chat, or install Google Hangouts on your Android device, XMPP IMs to your account are redirected to /dev/null with no indicator to the sender. Sometimes you show as still online, sometimes not.
