How are you charged when you use Mobile IM (AIM/YAHOO) messengers?

Is it part of the messaging IN package or are you charged for each incoming/outgoing IM?

Ok, but why kind of Text message -- an IN text message (which is free with the pkg) -- or an out of IN text message?

as a NON In-TXT! Be very careful with the IM programs! EVERYTHING that goes on in there is considered a message! Any welcome notes, existing notes, alerts of who is on-line, off-line etc etc. All depends on what you have your preferences set to! Have seen some very interesting overage charges by those that don't understand or bother to check to see what does/not bill when using IM!

Ok great thanks, I guess I will stay away from those as I only have the 50 over the IN.

Thanks. 🙂

When you sign on your buddy list and just leave it active, does that count as mobile airtime minutes? Or are you charged strictly by the IM's. I'm thinking about switching to the thousand texts for 10 bucks to use this, but not if it takes some airtime or I get charged mobile airtime amounts too.

Thanks
