Re: Ummm said by BillRoland:said by gdm:Is that notification via a SMS? Typically most AIM people get notified via SMS when they get a text and AIM is set to the mobile device. Usually your IM app on a device will time out after so long if you aren't actively using it. No. There's an AIM application that runs in the background. When somebody sends me an IM, I feel it vibrate and/or hear a tone, and see the AIM icon at the top of the screen. Its not SMS at all, and I'm not charged a dime for it outside of the BlackBerry plan, its all packet data. I have also been using BB AIM for years, and I kind of laughed when the iPhone version of this "revolutionary" service was released. In either case, I hardly ever use SMS now with BBM, AIM, and Google Talk on my Blackberry.
