T-Mobile charge 10c for every line of an IM conversation!
Its worth checking the small print of your cell phone plan:
Amazingly, T-Mobile are charging me 10c every single time I hit return, while using AIM on my Blackberry. They treat each individual line in an IM message as a separate text messag – which seems like a total scam.
Can you imagine the outcry if using Instant messenger cost this on a computer?
“Instant Messaging Use your existing username and Yahoo! Messenger or AOL Instant Messenger to see who’s available, then chat instantly–just like on your computer. Each instant message sent or received is charged or deducted as a text message. You may also be charged for all the administrative functions such as buddy list updates or signing on and off. “
