BlackBerry Data Add-on Questions?

I had asked about pricing and data matrixes in this thread over on AT & T because I am seeking a new device and carrier;

http://blackberryforums.rabroad.com/50142-need_some_advice_data_plan_new_activation.html

Doing a little more searching and investigating the options that are available to me, it looks like T-Mobile might be a good bet and I might drop Sprint all together (currently use them for both voice and data)

Couple questions come to mind.

Do any of the BlackBerry plans that offer unlimited data, whether they be BIS, BES related, or one of the two as add-ons for the voice plans, consider Jive Talk to be Instant Messaging or is it considered data/web browsing? I utilize the devil out of the Jive Talk for AOL IM, and don't want to have massive charges unexpectedly.

Also does T-Mobile offer an BIS log in site for configuring your other emails (like Sprint does) or does it have it be done thru the device itself? I personally like managing those accounts thru my PC rather remotely thru the device.

TIA

Does T-mo provide a BIS website for bb setup? Yes they do. It is part of the My T-mobile online acct access. It took me 3 days to figure that out. I had all ready my email address thru the setup WAP.~via BB (wap.rabroad.com)~
 
Yes - JiveTalk is data.

Although if you get one of T-Mo's BlackBerry Minutes & Mail Plans it will include unlimited data and SMS messages (no MMS)
 
Cool. Thanks!!

Now what about BB messenger? Is that considered as text messaging w/ T-Mo or is that part of the BIS package?
