I have a T-Mobile Blackberry Curve 8320 through my work with unlimited minutes and data; however, I have to pay for each text message at 0.20 cents a piece. I have some friends that have BB Messenger and some that have AIM or Yahoo IM, but is there an app that I can download to send and receive texts free through my data plan?
SMS is part of the GSM system, there's no way to route SMS through the data channel.
You can text people through AIM or Yahoo and when they reply it goes
right to your IM box.
Out of curiosity, about how many SMS are you using a month? I ask because
I just wonder if it's not enough to warrant just getting an SMS package
added to your account instead of paying for each message.
Maybe try google SMS text as a part of Gmail?
You can use Google Voice for sending and receiving SMS messates. Just make sure Google Voice isn't set up for forward the messages to your phone (you can set up GV to e-mail SMS messages, as well as use the GV app to send/receive SMS).

Of course that would work. Using the SMS Gateways has always been an option.
This sure does work, I know alot of people that use this method all the time and I have used it also.
i use Google Voice
I text thru email all the time for the same reason. Only issue is for my son who is on Sprint. If I type too much it gets cut off. So the standard text limits apply. Also when he replys I don't see the original txt. That's probably normal tho.

Easiest solution would be Google voice.
U use ur email and when they respond, it will come back to ur email address.

If you send an Email, you have the choice of any of your BB Email accounts. Then they reply to that account.
For US Cellular, it is:
[email protected]
For ATT:
[email protected]
You can also use Joopz.com if you and your buddy both have internet & are signed up with this site..
