I got Moto E815 a few days ago. Even if I was not going to do IM, I downloaded Mobile IM, just out of curiosity. Registered ID and password, explored the software, and ... when I checked my account info, it said I sent and received over 30 text messages! I didn't chat with anybody at all. I have never used text message service.

Today I found out every single exchange of data between the cell phone and the server is charged. Logging in, getting the buddy list, etc. This is crazy.

Does everyone know this?
