- thats not completely accurate, when you email to a person's text message email address it will come to them as a normal text message. For example, if you email [email protected] its will send a text message to that number's phone like it came from you texting them.
They can reply to that and it comes to your email. Im not sure how the 15 min delay works. sometimes i have a delay sometimes the email is instant it really seems to depend on the day and account. If its your BB email address it seems to get there pretty quick. Still a good substitute for paying outrageous text charges02-15-09 11:21 AMLike 0 -

I got a blackberry to SAVE money, because the only thing I use my home internet service for is email, everything else is done in the office. I will be dropping my home internet next month, saving me around $30 a month. However, the extra $30 a month data charge from Verizon is really eating at me. If I could drop the extra $ I pay for the text message package, it would be very helpful.
Someone said that they used beejive. Is that a decent service? Is it worth the money? Is it a one-time fee or a monthly charge?04-06-10 03:27 PMLike 0 - Seems like a ridiculous question at first, but between AIM text messaging and Google voice, there actually are some options. I, myself, just signed up for AIM and the free trial of Beejive - I've been texting my friends for free all afternoon. I'm on ATT, so $20 for unlimited texting is a bit steep for something that costs the company pennies.

Good luck!04-07-10 10:15 AMLike 0 - It's working really well. I like it so far. 30-day free trial, so you don't have much to lose. $20 1-time fee for device registration after the trial. $30 1-time fee for lifetime registration after the trial. Your choice.04-07-10 10:18 AMLike 0
- Yup, it's been working great. The text shows up on the recipients phone without your normal phone number, so it's best to register an e-mail address with AIM that has your name in it. The recipient will actually see your e-mail address as part of the 'from' field. When you 'add a buddy,' make sure you put +1xxxxxxxxxx in both the Buddy Handle and Nickname fields, then save. Once established, you can edit the new buddy's Nickname to his/her real name. That's what I had to do to make it work. I've been doing this using Beejive, so if you aren't using Beejive, I'm not sure how much different the process will be for you.04-07-10 11:30 AMLike 0

- Hmmm... Maybe it's the AIM service that is being poopy. When I "add a buddy" I only get the field of "screenname" ... :\04-07-10 11:50 AMLike 0

Hmm... DJ, I think I will try D/Ling and using beejive. Hmmm...04-07-10 01:56 PMLike 0 - I have to agree with some of the others. I pay too much already and being able to afford more is not the point. The point is everyone is a GD thief anymore and if some of us wanna roll over and take it up the,,,
On the other hand, if a half hour of fooling around to get an app to work will save 20 balloons per month then would it not be smarter for someone who realizes that a phone call is much easier than typing and someone who only sends a few texts a month to figure a better way?
What is it that you do to need 20 dollars of text messages? Chat with people in class?
WTF is it that you think your paying for? Elf's taking the messages from the out-boxes and stuffing them into the in-boxes?
Sounds like ATT is lighting your tires and snorting your money.Last edited by olblueyez; 05-23-10 at 07:04 AM.
