Cingular
i juss got the txting plan with cingular. we got the 1000 txt package for $10.00 a month. i can sign on AIM now since we got txting, but i was wondering if however long you're on for, if that uses up minutes & you pay for each minute, er the only way you pay is from txting??
thanks!!

hey! well i am assuming that you are signing on AIM from your cell phone... I am not sure if that is included in text messaging, but I am willing to bet that it is something separate! I would call and ask asap before getting on again! But there is a way to use AIM and your cell phone and just get charged for text messaging! When I am not on the computer, and I sign off aim, my screen name stays on everyone's buddy list with a little phone icon next to it. if anyone IMs me, it goes straight to my phone, and I can reply to their message from my phone... and it will go straight to their sn. Here is the website if you want to connect your phone to your sn like I did:

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ EDIT EDIT EDIT !!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate the rating, but after reading another answer you recieved, I wanted to make sure you knew what I meant!
Okay, I really hope what you meant was when you sign into AIM from your computer and instead of putting up an away message you forward to your mobile device.
I've never actually been away from a computer, turned on my cell, and went to AIM. I don't even know how to do that. I know how to instead of putting up the away message, forward to AIM, have the cell phone icon next to my screen name, and do that. If that's what you meant, then yes, it only charges you for texting. (but it costs extra, though because you have a certain amount of texts free, it shouldn't matter) That's what I meant. If you do it any other way rather than signing into AIM from a computer and forwarding it to mobile to make the little icon appear, then I don't know.
ORIGINAL ANSWER
I have cingular too. I only pay about an extra $5 a month for 200 texts, your deal seems much better! Anyway, I used to sign into AIM with my cell phone all the time until I realized, 200 free messages isn't enough when I use AIM. Anyway, to answer your question, it only charges for the text messaging, not for the minutes. So you're fine as long as you and your friends don't carry on conversations that use up more than 1000 messages while you're on your cell.

I have the same thing and they are different. IM not sure how much the AIM cost but its not the same as texting. You could call and ask.
