MSN Messenger count as text messaging?

I have a Moto MPX220, which has a MSN messenger client built in. This client does not seemt o be text message based, as I can tell if someone is typing a message to me, just as if I was using the desktop version of the application.

If it is considered text messaging, what if I use my phone as a GPRS modem for my PDA, and I use MSN on that? Does cingular track MSN messenger through some sort of proxy, since the messages recieved through MSN are obviously not text messages (I get no notification of recieving them, and the messages are sent to my normal passport account, not to my cellular phone number). Will using my PDA allow me to bypass the text messaging fees?
