This question comes up a lot on these forums. The only way I know how to explain it is this way: If you send an SMS or receive one from a PHONE number, you will be charged per message. But if you are using an application that sends messages through chat programs such as Verichat/IM+/Agile Messenger/Toccer/etc you will not be charged per message. So if you have an unlimited data plan and are using a data connection based IM program, you are OK . . . .
