Free Text Messages!
by So i have a thought... and correct me if im wrong... but.. vtext.com is free. Right? Sooo... say if i logged onto aim through vtext.com (text number of 4647) and then chat through aim through Vtext.com... would this be free, or even work? I dunno... i just was thinking outside the box... Milkboy, will it work?

this question hurts my head.
4647 logs you into AIM, but if you only get 500 free texts per month, this is not a good solution. each message you send counts as one text.
vtext.com from the computer is free. if you could, a good way would be log-in to vtext.com via your phone, and send texts that way. but you would use up airtime.
i like verizon b/c of the free in-calling (this will eventually get me to switch from nextel - every person i know has verizon, pretty much), but they are like, RIDICULOUS with text messages charges. you have to pay $5.00 for 500... with every other provider, you get unlimited for the same price or a few dollars more. The only other option with Verizon is a $20/month 2000 text messages package. Which is stupid.
tmobile doesnt have unlimited texting anymore, its 1000 messages now for the extra money
I have unlimited text messages with t-mobile. Probably only get 5 a month though. :P
mines free too. i luv txtng...i hate talkign on the phone so txtng is PERFECT to get to the point, directions, etc.
I completly agree, and I have a keyboard on my phone so it works so well. :)
oh wow, what kind of phone?
sidekick
small?
thick, I'm not happy with the size or the phone, or the fact that I never have a good signal, but the other things this thing can do are awesome
how the heck did you get that? i only have 300 for my sidekick.
It's in the plan I have.
we've never had that...
It's part of the sidekick plan. It's only available for the sidekick I think.
well sidekick unlimited only has 300 text messages. check your contract.

Looks like unlimited to me.
i can say it: you are right. =)
I thought that vtext.com was free... hence free texting.. right?
I was paying 5 dollars with AT&T for unlimited incoming texts and 100 outgoing. I now have Verizon $5 for 500..is that incoming and outgoing?
i think each. I have verizon also, but my textng is free.
how long have you been a customer?
Since yesterday..we switched over from AT&T
good switch!
Yeah..I'm really happy about it. My mom wasn't too thrilled (but this type of stuff is a bit beyond her) because she enjoyed AT&T for some reason but only Verizon has reception by my boyfriends house soo it would make sense for me to have that so I'm not driving around in cow country without reception.
yeah that could be scary! i love the plan if your family/friends are members, it's no charge! thats the best!
Yeah! I'm excited about that. Though I'm a bit confused. I have the "in" plan but if one of my friends doesn't but has verizon does it cost me minutes when they call me?
yes. actually it depends on what plan you have. i have the 4000 anytime minutes....then i have free weekends and evenings on top of the "in" network.
so if you're friends out of the verizon network call you, you're "anytime" minutes kick in depending on the time of day
no. i believe free- "in" calling applies to any verizon customer, meaning if you have "in" on your plan, you can call any of the 28 million customers on Verizon without using your minutes. If they don't have "in", it will use THEIR regular minutes - you remain unaffected.
Yeah..out of my family plan (mom, sister and myself) only I have IN.
Yeah around here Verizon has the best service with just about every other company you tend to have problems in the burg especially.
wait! 500 for 5 dollars?! with no set text plan--it cost the same! texts are ten cents each any old way! scammers!
i do the like the free verizon to verizon. 95% of my friends have verizon. i haven't gone over my minutes in a long time.
