twitter direct message from phone? - sportsjunky16 - 06-03-2014 10:04 AM
my girlfriend went to italy and i wanted to ask her how her trip was so i know international text messages are extremely expensive so i direct messaged her on twitter (she using her hotel wifi)
i have att with unlimited text messaging and 3gb of data a month she has verizion
is there going to be a charge on my bill for direct messaging internationally?

Direct messaging is data. You don't get charged for sending something that is data internationally - you only get charged for using data (that is not wi-fi) internationally.

No, because you sent her direct msg on twitter. you will be charged standard rates for using mobile data. If you have a smart phone, then you should use watsapp for texting. This app will charge you standard data usage rates and you can do unlimited msgs using this app. but your girlfriend should also use watsapp to receive your msgs.
