Ok....so a friend of mine has a blackberry and I have a Droid...I set up eBuddy on my phone and I'm unsure of what she uses. If she downloaded eBuddy would her IMs show up as text msgs on her bill?
IM use on the Blackberry or Droid is covered by the data plan, it does not use any text messaging allowance therefore it does not show up under text messaging detail on your account.
Using the IM apps that come with the verizon phones (AIM/MSN/Yahoo) do not use texts....they use data. This has been confirmed by 2 employees in the verizon store, a tech support rep and various places online.
Third party apps can sometimes be configured to use data or texts. Some only do one or the other. Others can be set to use whatever you like. It's pretty much on the application programmers. I would stick with the standard IM apps. AIM works solid for me.
