| windows live messenger & text
hey guys,
was just wondering if anyone has experience with any of this..
so I just linked my msn with my cellphone number to recieve the messages as a text.
I have a texting plan - 2500 msg and was wondering if this goes towards that 2500 or is it a seperate fee per message. And if I reply to the message, would it be deducted from my 2500 or, again, another seperate fee?
tia!

It costs money to directly reply to the msg center. It does not cost you money to receive, however.

Right, but this guy has a msging plan. I also happen to know that he's with Rogers.
Regardless, it is true that Telus and Bell charge for incoming unless you have a plan. Whether or not they still charge for these "internet" msgs is something that I do not know since I do not use their telephony services.

I have been using Rogers MSN to SMS service for years and the sent messages are covered by the text message plan.

it's like Alphamale said
if you're on Rogers and on a texting plan,
it shouldn't cost you anything to receive.
it WILL cost you to reply the message directly.

Would the cost to reply be from my text plan, or would rogers see this as a text for services and charge me otherwise?

I've been charged separately, or at least that's why I have data charges on my Rogers bill. However, that might have also been when I connected to the internet mistakenly.
BTW, TRD3000, your sentence is rather ambiguous...or is it vague? Either way, you might want to clarify which way the texts are going.

Looks like I'm wrong.
Hmm, I should start inquiring about these unusually (albeit small) data charges occuring on my bill.

I have txt messaging plan with Rogers. Using the sms to txt and vice versa I've never been charged before when replying. It should be free. But if you use MSN alerts you will be charged so don't use those.

My friend Bob sends me a MSN message from his computer. I receive his MSN message as a text message from Rogers wireless. Then, I reply a sms back to Bob MSN from my cell phone. All messages I mentioned above are included with Roger text message plan. Instead of a regular ten digit telephone number, the number for Bob's MSN is 99xxxxx and that is the same number Bob send sms to my cell phone. I am not sure what is the maximum number of MSN contacts are allowed because I only deal with ten people like this from my MSN contact. Different contact on my MSN has different 99xxxxx number. An example would be Bill is 99xxxx2, Mary is 99xxxx3 and Tom is 99xxxx4.
Clear enough?
