I have a non-Gmail Google Account that I use for Google Plus.

In Google Plus, I can chat with my contacts but I wish I could use the Google Talk software to chat outside the browser.

How can I get my ID to work?

I tried to fill out this form, but it replied that the email is already a Google account.

Can you go to this page:

https://www.google.com/settings/products

and see if you can add Talk?

Yes Talk is already in the products I use. When I add a contact in Google+ My contacts are asked to add 1b1hdpe4zxxxx@id.talk.google.com – Natim Jun 28 '12 at 10:09

I am sorry to say so, but there is absolutely no way you can do that. GMail integrated chat, Google Talk, Google Plus integrated Chat and Orkut integrated Chat are all different in their own way.

One more point of difference between these is that in each site you can see a different name for a contact depending upon what names he has set for himself in Orkut, Google Plus and what name have you given to him in your Google Contacts.

You can activate your Jabber account, by creating a Gmail account in this Google Account of yours.
