Thanks to Dan
Call me a late adopter, but I just discovered a free alternative to texting, something I am doing a lot more of now that I have an iPhone.
I was facing a much higher texting bill - going from 200 texts a month ($5) to 1,500 a month ($15) - when a friend told me about Google Talk.

Now I’m not worried about buying more texts or going over my allotment. And this deal is not just for iPhones.

Smart phones like the iPhone and Blackberry have free instant messaging as part of their data plan. There is also AIM from AOL and Yahoo! Messenger. Instant messaging is about as close to texting as you can get without paying for it.

For iPhone and other smart phones, I recommend downloading Google Talk on your phone.
If you have a BlackBerry and want to chat free with other BlackBerry's, use BlackBerry Messenger, which is part of the phone’s operating system if you have a data plan. The Pearl, 8800, and Curve models support BlackBerry Messenger.

Now you can instant message your heart out, and not worrying about the cost of texting.
