Tlen.pl is an adware licensed Polish instant messaging service. It is fully compatible with Gadu-Gadu instant messenger.

The communication protocol is based on open source jabberd code, but it was modified significantly, making it incompatible with generic XMPP clients and servers. Among other features, Tlen.pl allows for voice chats, SMS sending and video conferences. The versions later than 4.0 allow for creation and usage of plugins. Since then more than 80 plugins have been created by the community.

By April 2006 there were more than 1 000 000 registered users of Tlen.pl.

Tlen is also integrated with the o2.pl mail system, which allows users to use mail in three domains: o2.pl; go2.pl and tlen.pl. It is possible to easily access the mail system from the application. Tlen.pl automatically checks the user's account and if there is any new mail, it shows a notification on their screen.

It it is also possible to connect to Tlen.pl from the Tlen.pl homepage with a browser.

Since version 6.0.1.7 Tlen has included the Tlenofon plugin, which enables VoIP functionality in the client. Tlenofon is similar to the Skype service and offers low-priced calls to Poland and other countries.
