Newbie with a few questions (SMS vs IM) +
I just got a BlackBerry 8830 through Verizon. It's my first smart phone / pda in the past I just had a plain cell phone that didn't do much else. I'm on an unlimited data plan with verizon but they do charge like a nickel per Message.
I've seen a lot of software that supposedly lets you use Yahoo Messenger / MSN Messenger etc. My question is, if I install one of those am I still being charged a per message fee or is that only if I use the SMS messages? Also curious about the BlackBerry Messenger icon on my desktop that lets me chat with other BlackBerry users. Is that also free with my data plan or is that a per message charge like SMS. I'm kinda confused with all these different ways of communicating over the phone. Thanks for any help,
Mike
