Question Posted Tuesday May 16 2006, 6:24 pm

When I sign on to your screen name on a cell phone, does that cost money or will they only charge you if you send IM's? And does it cost money if people IM me but I don't open the IM (like a text message)?

Somebody said it cost 10 cencts per IM, but it doesn't. I'm using it right now, and you know how much it cost to send and recieve IMs? Well thats the same for AIM.

If you don't read the IM, and just delete it then they don't charge.

But it also depends on the type of phone you have. I have a Motorola C139 and it doesn't even use a minute per IM. My twin sister has a TracFone and it works the same way!

:D

if you sign your screename on your cell phone, they will only charge you for the instant messages, and it will cost money if people IM you. the cost is usually 10 cents. good luck!

It just charges you if you use IMs. It's 10 cents per IM, it can get pretty expensive. I used to have it and my mom had to pay like $200 so yeah it sucks.

If you get unlimited text messages, it counts for Instant Messaging too.

Be sure to double check with your cell phone provider.

well it depends on your plan and your company (t mobile, verizon, ect) if its a part of your plan it should probably only cost a few dollars..i get it unlimited and i have t mobile cuz its on my plan so im guessing you might wanna check with your parent (unless your old enough to provide yourself with a phone) before you actually go on aim..
