This is a little confusing so i’ll try and explain as best as possible. I don’t have a data or text msging plan so every text and kilobyte is costing me. Looking at my bill it says i’ve exceeded my limit by 21 messages and exceeded my data by 1219 kb. I’ve been using mobile aim which has been racking up my kb and txt’s. So here’s my question according to this forum discussion ( http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/884711-1.html ) WAP AIM doesn’t use sms and is strictly just using the internet or data service and the Java version is strictly just SMS and not the internet. then why am i being charged for both SMS text’s and data if i’ve just been using one?? I should only be charged for the data and using the web. Or does the mobile aim use both SMS and data service? I have IM forwarding turned on but when i realized i was being charged i turned it off, does that have anything to do with it???
Thanks all.
You’re going to be charged for any text message you send and/or receieve. I have Nextel and for only $3, $5, $7 or $10, you can add a plan to cover text messages. It all depends on how many you plan to send. Check it out online and call the direct number to Nextel customer service to set it up. I promise it will be a lot cheaper!
If you don’t have a data or text plan how can you be exceeding your allowed sms by 21? I can only assume that means you have only used 21 messages total, which would lead me to believe the sms is probably not associated with the AIM usage at all. You probably recieved 21 seperate text’s over the course of the month. (they charge you even to recieve)
Maybe….
