Do the messages that I send and recieved on IM get charged differently then a normal text? I looked at my usuage and it shows my text counter thing to non verizon is going up. I am guessing the IM's count as non verion texts? I luckily have unlimited texting to anyone (verizon, cingulair, etc) but do they count for Mobile AIM messages?

yes unlimited texting counts as aim and overall instant messaging. you get charged like they're texts. its like this for every company.

I've recently read the FQ&A on their site and it's suppose to. Since I have unlimited texting, it doesn't matter if it goes up or not. I would double check and ask the people at the store.
