Aim instant messanger extra charges?

[gnrev]

When using a 3rd party messenger device for aim such as agile messenger or verichat, does each im count as a text or just works on the general internet. I have a 15 dollar a month power vison plan )or which whatever the 15 a month is called) it has unlimited web n such. Thanks

I would also like an answer to this along with, if i get an unlimited data plan what would that include also is the email accounts free or do i get charged for that too. BTW i'm running a 700p on sprint.

The rule that I have always been told is that if it is based upon your wireless web traffic, it is considered data minutes. So for most, it is unlimited.

If you use your phone number for any type of features, text messaging or sms (whatever it's exactly called), then you will be billed for that.

Long story short, you can use Agile without worry. Well at least I did on my sprint vision. On a side note, I tried Agile and did not care for it. Get a program that will run in the background.

If you search the site, you will find some great info written by some of the members here. Everyone here is great to get advice from. You will want to keep visiting so that someday you will be able to help others. It is addicting.

Also, welcome to the boards. (I am a veteran yet to be able to do that )

I have the verichat application and I adore it.. I have it set so If someone tries to "message" me using YAHOO then it sends a SMS to my phone with their message. I can then just hop on and finish out the conversation. It works great for me.. I did have to purchase the unlimited TXT messaging plan to accompany the unlimited data plan I had from sprint. Becauses the txts do not count as "data". Herm.. that's just my bits of information. Hope it helps... I can tell you this it was well worth it and if you have it on an add a phone, they can get the unlimited txting for half the price it is on the primary phone. Txting gets addictive.. Verichat fuels my addiction :O)
