Ok I just got my phone yesterday. I've read through all the topics about texting to others both within and outside of Verizon.

etc.

If I'm sending out texts as emails am I being charged from Verizon per text as well as if I reply?

I am on the unlimited data only plan.

Thanks so much!

If you are sending messages as emails, you are covered by the unlimited data plan. If you are sending messages as SMS, you are sending TXT messages and you will incur 10 cents incoming/10 cents outgoing.

Great that's what I needed to know. I called Verizon tech support and one guy told me the same thing, then I had to call back about another question and I thought I'd ask again and the rep told me even though I was sending them as emails to both Verizon and to other carriers I would still be charged per message.

Just make sure you select Compose Email instead of Compose SMS and you'll be fine.
