T-Mobile offers messaging plans. They plans don’t include email since email is considered data. I think the unlimited text plan is 14.99 for individual plans or 19.99 for family plans.

lol yes thanks nismo i have the 19.99 unlimited family, this doesnt include sending with no service i dont think i can try right now and tell ya if it works..."currently unable to send your message. It will be sent when service becomes available". anybody got any other ideas?

[snoslicer8]

I'm confused. Are you saying that your phone has no service, ie zero bars of signal?

If that's the case, you can't send SMS, no matter how hard you try.

[dippedinsauce]

well ok i figured this i was just checking because when my friend had his blackberry he could connect to our schools wifi and get calls and send calls all just being connected to wifi

Yeap...sum phone has the function that you can call thru wifi.I had Nokia 6301.When went to the basement there was no service(T-mobile).But i cud make call with ma Wifi.

Your thread has been moved to Tmobile. You will find others with a similar situations aswell Tmobile Reps floating around that can more properly answer your question. Have a good day.

any help is appreciatedYou can use email to send sms messages, though it is not as convenient. You need to know how what carrier a given phone number is on and how to email to that particular carrier. My son is doing this now. The biggest drawback is that they cannot SMS him this way, only reply to his messages, which comes back to his email. (He can receive SMS messages, but each one received and sent costs him 1/4 minute. Not too bad, IMO.)

Here is a thread I started with some more info:

My son is also hoping to see a full VOIP version of Skype come along soon. Right now he's limited to Skype and SkypeOut on his laptop. I have trouble imagining that will NOT make it onto the Android platform, but we'll see.

Good luck!
