Does Google Talk charge per TXT?

[bigdawg]

Please let me know if Google Talk charges per txt message. I don't have a big txt plan and don't want to go over.

TIA

So I'm a bit more confused... I will need to download google voice app and not use the pre-installed Talk app to not get charged?

oh two different things. Google talk is an instant messenger, same as aim or icq or what have you.

Google voice does sms, and you have to get an invite to use it, but once ya do its free to send sms through it.

Yeah...the names of both applications can be a little confusing. Go to www.google.com/voice to sign up for an invite. If/when you get an invite, search the forums here for how to set it up so no text notifications are forwarded to your phone.

That's not germane to the OP at all.

Google Talk does not use SMS for message delivery.
