I am not sure if someone else has posted this, but I have not found it so far so I will post it. Sorry if it is a repost.

I am not a big texter, so I did not get the unlimited text plan, I only have 200/Month. I noticed on my bill that i went over 300 text messages, and when I called to find out how, they said that it was through my AIM, the free app i downloaded off app store. Each message sent and received counts as a text message. Hope this helped someone, if not... :-(
 
aim does not use any of your texts. you can read about it in aol's faq page here. or look at the screenshot below.

The AT&T person you talked to is an idiot.

They don't know what they're talking about.

AIM does NOT use SMS messages.
 
I would imagine AIM only uses texts if you have the AIM Client on your mac set up to forward your IMs to your phone via SMS when you don't have the desktop software running.

Otherwise, the AIM Application on the iPhone does not use texts. It's in the dataplan.
 
I was thinking I had seen something in AIM on the iPhone that would let you get AIM replies as text messages.

it might have been mobilechat, a chat client waiting to be released on the app store. they're going to have servers that will keep you logged in, and you'll get the choice to be alerted through sms of incoming messages.
