The AOL Instantmessenger can be used by anyone, even if you do not use AOL as your ISP service. The IM program is called AIM Instant Messenger, and it can be downloaded here. You can also go directly to the aol.com homepage and go to the IM download link. AIM basically has all the same features as their internal instant messenger has on the ISP software, including buddy list and various other features. AOL has recently announced that they are now free, so if you prefer using the client instant messenger you can use that free now instead of AIM. (It is only free for broadband users, not dialup users).
