so -- how much do you use that client on your phone?
my current plan actually has limited text-messages per month. It's a fairly high limit, but once I take into account the multiple challenge-response messages that go on behind the scenes just for logging in/logging out/retreiving the current list of logged-on contacts/changing status, it doesn't look that high anymore. Unlimited messaging is three times the price of limited messaging (and while neither breaks the bank, the difference isn't insignificant). I'm going to continue playing with this for a week or so, but unless somebody I know says, "yes, this has been invaluable above and beyond simple SMS" I'm probably going to turn it off.
not a ton, but it is handy. it's part of my 20 bucks/month all you can eat data package. mason, a friend from boston and sometimes jen in a pinch are the main people who i use it with. i woud say it is 50% peeps and 50% bots (mostly yellowpages - it's a really good app; much faster than the web browser).
