iPhone Text MessagingTelecom Companies are charging a ridiculous rate for SMS (text messages) especially when you already have an unlimited data plan.  All a text message is, is data- correct? So, unlimited data should cover it, please let me know if/why I am wrong.

Anyways, with iPhones new 2.0 firmware it’s easier then ever to install applications.  Under the app store there is a free AIM Application, just install this application and login to AIM.

From there you can create a buddy, as the screen name: just put the country code and phone number.  United States country code is +1 so an example screen name would be +12223334444.  You should be able to ‘IM’ that screenname 24/7 and it will send a text to the number and they can reply without your provider every knowing you sent a text!

Be aware that this will count against the individual you message if they do not have any kind of alotted (or unlimited) text messaging plan.

    does this use the other persons data plan or just their text messages?

    If both users have unlimited Data no one gets charge. If one has unlimited Data and the other doesn’t. Than the one that doesn’t may get charge. Correct me if I’m wrong.

    Your site is great but for the love of God – ‘Then’ is time related (… and then enter …). ‘Than’ is comparative (… better than …)(… easier than …).

    Again – I love the site but I couldn’t hold back anymore. Sorry.

    Does this show up as my phone number when it is received by the other party? or would it show up as my name if they have it stored?

    This hack does not always work. It’s been useless for my friends with MetroPCS service.
