Incorrect assumption.
The correct fact is "The free software on TMobile BlackBerry charges for text messages; you need to download and install another brand of chat software so that it uses data instead of text messages".
It is a software-speicific. Some brands of IM software do not use text messages, no matter which carrier you are on.
If you do not want to be charged for text messages, do not use the free software included with tmobile, it uses text messages. T-Mobile's custom YIM software uses text messages.
Download third-party software instead; such as Google Talk. The BlackBerry branded chat software downloads from
www.rim.com and
www.blackberry.com are guaranteed to use data instead of text messages.
