Is Yahoo! Mobile free on a T-Mobile phone with unlimited text messaging?

Question

I have a T-Mobile phone and I have unlimited text messaging and I just wanted to know if there was any charge to use Yahoo! Mobile on my phone even though my texts are unlimited.

Answer 1

First off - there are many different product suites available to use.  Yahoo! Mobile is pretty general.  

Yahoo! Go is the downloadable application that lets you access Yahoo! products on the 'Go'!  Yahoo! Go uses the Mobile Internet - you would want to ensure you have unlimted *data* services as part of your carrier package.

Yahoo! Messenger or Yahoo! SMS to phone  or Yahoo! Alerts- if you are using Mobile messenger or sending text messages to your phone from via a computer, then you will not need to pay additional fees and your carrier text messaging package should cover this.

If you are using Yahoo! Mobile Web, you will want to ensure you have a data plan (not a text messaging plan) so you do not incur large data charges from your carrier.

In general, Yahoo! services are free (other than some premium client applications), however, you want to make sure you have the right package from your carrier.

Answer 2

This really depends on yoru phone.  For example, I have tmobile sidekick id.  I could not install this into my phone.  You have to check to see if your phone is compatiable.  

if you go to the website they use the internet too.  So if you only have unlimited text messaging but you use the net...then you'll still be CHARGED.

This is important to know because yahoomobile offers more than just text messaging they offer, internet shortcuts, search engines, mail, messenger and whole bunch of other stuff.

If i were you, I would try d/l it onto my phoen to see if it works.  If i works and it uses the net, then you'll get charged for it.  

If it does not work and it's not compatible with your phone, then it's okay you don't need it.
