Though we arent supposed to "advertise" it is available again for just a short time, the communication said until supplies of the nokia 6800 run out. (shhh) 🙂

But it's only available with the Nokia 6800, is that correct? That was what my communication said, but I'm not sure how they can control that.

If you're retail yes, you were more than likely told only sell it with the 6800, at customer service we were told that retail reps were told it only goes with 6800, but if a customer asks for it, we can add it regardless of what handest they have, and the promotion is to help sell the rest of the 6800's we have in stock.

I push it like gangbusters whenever it's available, mostly because I HATE those AIM escalations! 😈

What's the MRC (Monthly Recurring Charge) for the option? $10/month?

Yes, it's $9.99/month....and as far as AIM goes, I KNOW whatcha mean, but a little trick I've learned is that if you do NOT use the embedded IM client in your phone, you wont be charged sms. For instance long onto T-zones (if you have it) and go to wap.aim.com, or wap.yahoo.com.....then use the messenger from there. Some handsets, mainly samsungs would be easier to do this by setting a bookmark in t-zones and accessing your wap sites through that. motorolas you can go into menu>office tools>web access> go to url and type in your wap._________, or set bookmark. On nokias you log onto T-Zones and press options, then goto(some say browse, some say search) 🙂 . Yes, though, you have to have T-zones to be able to do that.

another trick...for 19.99 internet users only
since I use 19.99 internet to listen streaming radio when I'm away from home...I have pocket pc connected to T637 through bt, it has MSN, ICQ, AIM, then I simply use these IM on pocket pc, do messaging over GPRS, it's 100% unlimited
I think it's the reason why T-Mobile has to kill port 80 for 4.99 plan, because it hurts SMS plan, not 19.99 plan
if you do MSN and AIM a lot, get 19.99 internet plan, upgrade your phone with bt support, buy a pocket pc (Dell Axim X30m is the best deal) with thumboard attachment (buy from dell.com)
this is about $500 investment, but then you can use the 19.99 Internet plan for IM, and limited html and wap browsing, email, listening streaming audio with wmp (realon...

Very good point, ming if I may add to that:
The pocket PC 2003 phone edition though still widely used is discontinued and replaced with the ipaq h6315. This one already comes with the detachable keyboard, bluetooth, camera, tri-band, and upgraded windows 2003 for mobile web. Not necessary to buy all the extras. However, with the $19.99 internet plan, its intended use is not exactly to make or lose money off of text messages. Data devices, or PDA's have a larger memory, and MUCH different software than a regular phone has, and is not limited to the wireless application protocol deck (WAP browser), such as phones themselves are. (For example on your pocketpc you can type in "www.yahoo.com" and go right to that site. On a cell phone you would ...

HUH? Tell them to check streamline on current promotions! Or better yet throw in some customer service "system" talk. Tell them on you samson account to select the "BAN PROFILE" tab, then on the bottom where it lists your included and optional features to click on "list" then on the "RC" tab, right click, choose ascending, scrown down to $9.99 where you will find "SMS999" and next to it on item description says "Unlimited text-PROMO". Click on that, and it appears on the list of features. Then, use the left-right scroll bar on your BAN PROFILE tab, and move it to the right until you see the blank space on the "comp code" column under which you enter in "0000002" Then go over to your left hand samson tool bar and click the little picture that...
