Does recieving an instant message on my cell phone require internet access?

[Katrina P]

i have unlimited texting but i do not have internet. when someone sends me an IM from yahoo instant messenger, it comes up as a text message. i can reply to it and it never says i got on the internet but will it charge me for internet access on my bill since the person who IMed me used the internet?
also will i be charged internet for being sent updates from twitter?

well if ur asking if its charging you, you would get a notice that pops up saying dont proceed if u dont have iming....so if you dont have an iming plan DONT USE IT

no, it's just a text. i have MSN instant messaging on my phone and it doesn't cost anything. if you sign up for twitter it will probably have fine print saying if it needs internet or not.
