Tmobile $9.99 email plan???

[carmella.2006]

Does the Blackberry $9.99 Email Plan cover messanger use on an 8320? Or is it stricktly for email and I'd have to get the $19.99 internet plan?

Yeah, the email plan does cover messenger. But it does not give you access to the internet

Sorry about my vagueness. Does it cover AIM/Yahoo/Google talk? I'm speaking specifically for a T-Mobile branded 8320 on T-Mobile USA with the $9.99 email plan. Just want to make sure I get the correct experience if someone is using it the same way. At the moment I get the error message "service is not supported on device" when I try to log in to any of the messanger services. Thanks in advance everyone

I can confirm, yes bbm, no internet. I used it for 6 months or so before I upgraded to the internet plan.

Some of the IM programs actually use text messaging instead of the data connection, but most use the data connection. I found this out when I got hit with a ton of text message charges on my phone, and found out that the IM was transmitting over text. I changed to another IM client (same IM network) and never had the problem again. I think it was an AIM client that was doing this.
