What's the cost of using AIM on my RAZR? My provider is, of course, T-Mobile.
I considered leaving my AIM on overnight incase anyone decided to have to contact me, but I ended up turning it off because I didn't know if there were any extra costs. I know it uses up SMS messages, but does it cost money to connect? Does it cost hourly? Any extra charges with messages?
Thanks in advance.

However if you don't have a Text Message packet you can also add T-zones and you can go through the menu for T-zones and connect through there and it won't charge the per message rate. I just got the unlimited message bundle from them though it might be worth it for you to have that as well.

Basically an IM through the phone is a text message. Any incomming or outgoing are treated as such charge wise. Just keep in mind *every* message you receive or send is 1 text msg. When it comes to people at a computer, those add up very quickly, so I highly suggest unlim sms bundle unless you use it rarely and so do the people on your list haha.
*edit* Rose beat me to it! Ah well

Also note that your phone will need to sent txt msgs to keep your buddylist up to date. This is normally where a large chunk of msgs are used up.
