chacha!
so i heard about chacha when it was first starting and was free.
my g/f has at&t service as well, but when she txt chacha it informed her of a .99 fee for each question...
so at&t promotes chacha and is helping it grow, but is it still a .99 fee for messages? because i never got that charge when i first started using it.
thanks anyone for your input.

yeah she is txting to Chacha. thanks for your answer! it may just be a default thing for any messaging

It is not a "service" by any specific carrier. ChaCha has been around for about a year or so as an alternative to Google, MSN, Yahoo, and the other search giants.
