IM and Text Msgs
I was hoping someone could clarify this for me. I just wanna make sure I'm understanding this.
"Instant Messages are charged just like TXT Messages so you can use your TXT Messaging package or 'pay as you go'. Instant Messages are not included as IN messages in any Unlimited Messaging bundle"
So, this means, that if I IM my husband (who has mobile web, and I don't), I'd get charged a txt msg fee. And because we both have VZW, I'd STILL get charged because IM's aren't included as IN msgs?
So, what is the point of IM'ing then?
(I'm debating on getting the LG 9900 for IM'ing, but it seems like it'll be a waste of time if I'm getting charged for it, because it doesn't constitute as IN).
Thoughts? Corrections?
TIA.

Unfortunately you are correct verizon is screwing over its customers by not allowing unlimited text packages.
The only thing I can suggest is porting to a carrier that offers unlimited text and data like Sprint!
Good Luck

Thanks. IMing isn't important enough to make me switch. Service is more important, so I'll stay with VZW.

One more question.
Let's say I get the LG9900. And get the $10 unlimited text/pix/and whatever else was in the promo........
and my husband has the mobile web package on his Blackberry......
Can we text for "free"? Me thru txt msgs, him thru IM?
Thanks.
