Need help with using AIM through texting

Well, I was going home one day after going somewhere, when suddenly a text came in. I saw it, and it said that my friend from AIM had sent me a message. I texted “a” for “accept” back to the sender (which wasn’t my friend’s phone number, but I guess the AIM text number or something like that :P) and the message was texted back to me. I sent a message back, and surprisingly my friend texted back. I never knew that was possible. How does this exactly work? I don’t have internet on my phone, and I don’t use the “IM Chat” section in my phone.. just texting. How can I talk to other people from my AIM list through texting? Or do THEY have to text me for me to text them?

Plus, I have unlimited texting with Verizon. Does this apply to the AIM texting or do I have to pay for each text?

Your advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks

if you have unlimited texting with verizon you can go and use aim ON your phone if you phone has it. no additional charge. andd as for the mobile texts, the people have to send an IM to YOUR phone first for you to reply.

so if I have unlimited texting I can use AIM from the Chat IM section or are you talking about the “AIM texting”?

no you cann use AIM from the chat section, yepp. like under messaging, where it says “mobile IM” its just like texting, and since you have unlimited you can use it.
