Can anybody tell me if Verizon charges you minutes when you connect to Yahoo messenger, AIM or MSN Messenger via their “Mobile IM” application (Which by the way is a free download)

I am aware that the sending and receiving is treated like txt messaging. But I noticed that when telling the application to connect, that I see the icon for calls pop up. Which leads me to believe that it may be using some of my airtime.

Who knows what Verizon is reallty charging us, and for what.

it only connects (using airtime) for a short moment when refreshing your buddy list or signing on or off of the AIM service..this does not stay connected while you are online or using the app, you will notice you are able to stay 'online' with the mobile and completely exit the app, this is because the online status is saved on the instant mess. servers, not your phone..and you are correct, to send/receive messages uses txt mess. service.
