SEEKING A NEW VOCABULARY TERM

So you know how you ask for an email (not an SMTP, yahoo, google, aol, or etc)? You can also ask for a call or text (not a telephony, SIP, T-mobile, ATT, Voynage, or etc). So XMPP works the same way, but we don't have a word for it.

I need a word that means contact me over #XMPP, without using XMPP; which is a protocol, or Jabber, which has been intrusively trademarked. Put your thinking hats on. What word would work? It might need to be a new one.

#xmpp

When I try to explain people how to contact me via #XMPP, there are two ways:

1. The easy way:
"You can contact me via Quicksy".
Since it is available for iOS and Android for free and my JID is registered there.
Advantage: People can explain this to others.

2. The advanced way:
"I am using messaging apps which support a messaging standard.
My chat address is ...
You can choose an app you like:
apps.xmpp24.de/en/ or
xmpp.org/software/
and an provider:
providers.xmpp.net/"

#xmpp
