charges for eCards for mobile phones

[debsbb]

Hi there,

I just recently discovered some web sites that do eCards specifically for mobile phones and I'd like to take advantage of these services. According to their web sites, when the recipient opens the card, the sender's cell phone provider charges the sender .99c and the charge is for sending the message and not for purchasing the card, the cards are free.

I have unlimited talk/text with Verizon. If anyone has tried this and has unlimited services, were these charges applied over and above your monthly service bill or because my service is unlimited it is included as part of my usage?

Thanks!
