it should be the same cost as sending a text msg.

[abercrombie_lover]

it depends on the cellphone service you have.
for verizon, t-mobile & cingular/at&t they count each im you send as txt msg,
but for sprint, they don't count as txt msg, cause it's included in your internet fees.

For me no because I have unlimited txting and IMing on my sidekick LOL

[BU_RP]

i dont think its the same cost?
cause then dont you need to go on the internet to im?
=/ i just text and im at home LOL

[killasnake]

IM'ing cost the same as texting. Each receiving and sent message counts as a text. Make sure you have a text plan or you will get a big surprised on your next bill.

If you're not sure, call your provider.
Thats the best way to get the answer; since it varies depending on provider.

for t-mobile, it counts as a text message. also, remember that there are hidden fees - each time you sign in and out, the buddy list refreshes, etc. i think they count as a couple of text messages each. i think i remember someone telling me that each time they log on, it sends 5 text messages (or something like that).
if you have a data plan, try using ebuddy. that's what i use and it has msn, yahoo, gtalk and aim (and you can sign in to all of them at the same time).
