Okay everyone, I have one question may someone please confirm this.
Everyone has said that when you use the AIM program, it is free of charge and doesn't count towards your SMS plan. However I have notice that if the AIM user is sending a message to your cell phone number (ex.+1999945499) instead of your screen name(ex. JohnDoe123) it will charge you 1 SMS message.
I have noticed another thing also, which is why I am very confused. I have noticed that when you are receiving messages through your Screen name(ex.Johndoe123), it doesn't charge you as an SMS message(atleast doesn't show up on the online account as an SMS charge, however the other method(ex.+1999945499) does show up as 1 SMS count, can someone please confirm that this method is free...Its not showing up when I check the sms data plan, but I want to be 100% sure before I start chatting regularly on AIM app.
Also I asked an ATT representive about and this is what I got...
Thank you for taking the time to e-mail the new AT&T regarding the AIM
application on your phone and if it will count toward your message plan.
When you use AIM it will count toward your message plan. If
you are going to be using the AIM it is best to get an unlimited message
plan, which is $20.00 a month. Any messages over the 200 plan that you
have is $0.10 per message.
THANKS in advance, help is much appreciated, SERIOUS 100% CONFIRMED answers please.
