free sms texting via data?

[breezethrusd]

I just signed up for a data plan and am trying to figure out a way to send text messages via data without signing up for a $20 texting plan.
Here is the following options I have come up with

-Use web2mail and send email texts to people. Although this is quite annoying because people say they recieve a new text every time i respond (doesnt come up as one conversation)
-Sign into AOL instan messanger and text people through that. But this kills my batterylife.
-There is an app called mjoy. www.mjoy.com I havent tried it yet, but am considering it.

are there any other options? any java apps or anything that can be used to send text messages?

thanks
ps I have an ATT Fuze.

please just get texting plan.
AIM uses both texts/data.
and is it really worth it to go thru hassle to text friends/family to save 10 to 20 bucks?
and hassling friends/family to get random messages from websites and whatnot?

About 10 seconds on google man. I'm not going to call you a jerk, but I'm seriously considering it.

People that post questions without doing any research are really a drag.

Yeh - I had the same question.
As it stands, I'm using my email to send texts... but cumbersome at time. Especially when I don't know the persons provider. Anyhow, I saw that the Iphone/Itouch had an app that used Google's SMS feature called Infinite SMS... it got pulled back. Similarly, there is another Iphone/Itouch Textfree and Textfree Lite that sends texts via data, but not using Google's SMS.

I'm not a developer, but I guess if it could be done on the Iphone, then is it possible that it can be done on WM?
