Aol Im

:laugh: patience grasshopper... "get it now" works through verizon phones.... http://getitnow-origin.vzwshop.com/html/home/index.jsp is the link online. Remember each IM message is charged as an "other" (not "IN" plan) text message - A CPF friend and I ate up 100+ of his in a 10-15 minute conversation...

www.vtext.com will allow your friends to send you a text message from the net within the "IN" plan... but if you return send to their email address it counts as "other"... you can set up a yourname@vtext.com email addy for easy to rememberness (or if you don't wanna give that guy from the gym your phone # but ya still wanna hear from him )... just remind your friends that you will only read the first 140ish characters of their email! (no quoting please) And if it comes from a friend's email rather than the vtext site it will count as "other."
