No, to send and receive instant messages is at .05 per text/instant message sending text messages outside of the US is .15 per regardless of the paid text message feature that you have on the account

4eyes is right, an instant message sent to your phone comes to you as a text message, and the text that you reply with is an instant for the person on the other side, unless of course youre both using cell phones

You can get a Sidekick II with the unlimited option if you are an AIM addict... Or you can get a Pocket PC Phone Edition handheld and install real AIM onto it (courtesy of http://www.aol.co.uk/aim/wince/index.html ) but you will need the VPN access on your account (which costs $20/month).

I know this topic is old, but i had the same question.
But I think that u CAN text as much as u want with Unlimited T-zones without them charging u. Just go to www.E-messenger.net on ur phone and u can chat without them charging u. Am I right? B/c they didnt charge me for that, but im not 100% sure....

I signed up with t-zones after confirming that messages sent when you are logged into aol IM or yahoo IM through T-zones, will not be charged as text messages (SMS). But if you are NOT logged in to the IM from T-zones, and receive text messages, then you get charged.

So if u have unlimited T-zone, u can just sign in AIM without getting charged? U don't need to a website to sign on or anything?

MotoFan · 06-24-2005, 08:44 PM

Yes, u got it.

Also, with t-zones u can go to websites, see your yahoo mail, go to aol portal and see some news, etc.

That's cool

!!
Thanks for answering my question.

I have the sidekick II with the unlimited data plan, so i dont have to worry about anything
