im looking for a app that uses data instead of sms to send an i.m.
i called verizon today and they said if i send i.m.'s it takes from my sms allowance.
so i need a data only app that uses i.m's sent .
any ideas?

The apps provided (aim, msn, gtalk) use data. The rep was mistaken. Dumb phones use sms, these do not.

Try not to double post the exact same question. Especially when you've gotten answers in your other thread.

lol, did you get the Customer Service Reps employee number? There is no way to re-contact a specific call center employee.

The information you are getting not correct.

I use several IM applications and they all use BlackBerry Internet Service data. There is no SMS involved.

Fact is, I have SMS disabled in my firewall.

Maybe you could disable sms in your firewall and then try to send so it has to go a different route?

but i send sms's all the time...

Go to Joops.com its txting via the internet. As long as the person you are txting is signed up also its free.

I never tried it on the Storm but I used Palringo awhile back.

beejive offers a trial free for 30 days and its great! but after the trial is over you have to pay a one time payment of $20 to continue using but I believe its worth it.

Google Talk
AOL
MSN Messenger
ICQ
And a host of Third Party / off-brand apps for consolidated IM-ing.

Almost forgot about Yahoo.
