Instant Messaging

[cu604932]

I have logged in with my live messenger account with the Instant Messaging app for the whole week since I got the phone. Wow I just checked my bill online and I got charged for over 500 sms sent and received. LOL WTF!!!
Even I logged in using my live account still consider as sms??? Unbelievable ATT

Your question is not Captivate-specific. There are plenty of other forums on this site; don't get tunnel vision to this particular forum just because you have the phone.

For example, the question you have (I'm assuming) relates to either Android applications (apps forum) or the AT&T IM application (AT&T forum), not the Captivate. There is a thread on alternative IM apps, which you could have found using the search button.

AT&T counts IM as SMS to give people an option if they don't want a data plan, but use IM. Just download an IM app, and you'll be fine. AT&T isn't "out to get you" I promise
