are you sure about that? cuz im scared of getting all these data charges on my phone just for chatting on instant messenger... someone told me at a store that you get charged kb usage if you're currently on the internet, but if you're not you get charged with your text messages...

I went to Cingular's website and read this:

What is the cost for Instant Messaging?
You are charged $0.10 for each message you send and receive unless you are on a Text/Instant Messaging package or a MEdia bundle.


Here is the link:

Right that is correct just like I said. Charged for text messaging per message which is .10 per message incoming and outgoing unless you have a texted plan.

Yeah but what good is unlimited texting for him when he gets no service in his area with T-mobile... We went through this before with him and most people in here. 🙂

Hi guys, I have cingular and razr v3 with a MEdia package and when I use AIM, I get charged for the data transferred NOT by how many text messages I sent. Hope this help.
