Question about Cingular Text Messaging.

[Adn4n]

I have the 200 message starter package and have the following questions to fellow cingular users:

Do you incur any charges, particularly internet charges, when sending a TEXT message to an e-mail?
Do you incur charges sending Multimedia Message or Voice Messages? Both need Media Net so I'm assuming you incur internet charges.
When using MSN messenger, does each message count as a text or do you pay per kilobyte of data, or both?

Thank you guys in advance.

1) Yes, you incur a text message charge.

2) You incur internet charges.

3) You incur internet charges, not text messaging charges.

ummm, after reading my policy of 200 txt msgs, it clearly states the "all msgs are the same rate, picture, video, or txt" under that plan.

It's pretty straight-forward. Anything that goes through the internet uses internet charges. Anything sent via SMS / Picture Message / etc. uses text message charges.

then isn't your answer wrong? A multimeida msg is pic/video, and it also says that IM are txt msg charges.

Yeah cingular's website is very ambiguous and seems to avoid my questions generally. Probably because this misinformation makes them a lot of money.
