I hear you can get unlimited texting if you use google talk on the $25 plan. Is there a way to make google talk work for like AIM, MSN and yahoo also?

Yes, I know unlimited G talk is included, but that doesnt mean you get unlimited other texting apps (AIM, MSN), so is there a way to use AIM or use your aim buddylist on gtalk?

Sorry, I misread your question. It's not possible to do that, you're going to have to upgrade to the $35 plan.

Sure it's possible, using an AIM transport through Jabber. The setup is complicated, but it's out there. ;)

According to the T-Mobile site itself, it says the $24 gives everything BUT unlimited IM, 400 texts only. The $35 is unlimited.

Once again...all IMs are unlimited for both 24.99 and 34.99 data plan...I called T-mobile Customer Service On Oct 30th around 7:00pm...How many times do i need to repeat?!

IM's = instant messaging... text messages (sms) are different... although i'm pretty sure jason is wrong, the other IM clients should go through t-mobiles sms system

Heres what is said by T-Mobile themselves.


400 total messages (text messages, picture messages, non-Google Talk IM)

For the $25 one

I'm pretty sure what they told you was wrong, Jason

jasonnever: You will need to repeat yourself until t-mobile fixes their site to not say that.

You can't reconfigure the in-built GoogleTalk to work for AIM. Wait for Beejive IM (infinitely better than IM+), or shore up the other $10/mo for unlimited SMS.
