ok well i wanted a phone for so long and my dad is finally thinking about getting me one. i really want a pink razr phone from AT&T but i'm no whiz at phones or anything. i want my phone to have text messaging & AIM included with the phone, not to pay extra.
Unlimited text messaging is only $9.99 extra a month, and AIM is a feature already on the phone. The RAZR has AIM, & Yahoo!Messenger.
I'm going to tell you right now, that you would need to pay extra in order to use your texting & AIM. Whenever you IM someone, it costs money to send & recieve them, and it can rack up your bill pretty quick. So can texting.
I suggest you talk this out when you get to the store. Because my boyfriend failed to warn me of this when he gave me his RAZR [which is mine now] & my bills were over $200 a month on just me alone [I share with my mom]. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

but having texting and aim included doesn't have to do with what phone you get, it depends on the phone company you go with, and the plan you get for your phone. i haven't really heard of not having to pay for texting and stuff, im sure you will probably still have to pay for it.
if your dad isn't going to pay for the texting and aim, then i would hold back on the texting for a while. show him that you are responsible enough to have a phone. then maybe that will come up.
