a question about AOL instant message

[Cantw8]

Does anyone know for sure if this service is free? I recently cancelled my AOL account and went with a cable hook up. My daughter was upset because she could no longer use instant message and her buddy's list. Well, the other day, I see her talking away with instant message. When I asked how she got it, she said that it was free. Does anybody know anything about this? I am avoiding calling AOL for now, their customer service department stinks and I end up angry and frustrated. Thought I'd ask you guys first. I better not get a bill for $$$$$ from AOL or that computer is going in the pool along with my DD

Rest your wallet. AIM is free as is MSN messenger. AOL's IM has been free since it's inception. I've never had an AOHell account but I've used their AIM.

I'm sure now that you have cable, you're daughter is quite happy with the speed!

thanks, oogie.... We all love the speed of cable and lack of pop-ups. AOHell couldn't agree more!!! LOL

Yep! I don't have AOL, but have AOL messenger. Have never paid a dime.
