aim mobile

[eon]

i have a company issued iphone 4 which we are allowed to use for personal use. We are not supposed to text due to the service contract on the phones with them so I use the aim free app. This is prolly a very dumb question but I just wanted to make sure: the aim app is not using "texting" resources right? Also any ideas of the security within the app as far as encrypting conversations? I know they can monitor what is texted or sent through our Exchange email servers but can they monitor what is IM'd through the aim app?

thanks

It uses data not txt.

I think with AIM, you can still send "texts" through the aim protocol to mobile phones still. A couple months back, I was able to add a phone number to AIM, and then, at least on my Palm Pre using the built in AIM messenger, send an IM to a phone thru text. No text message charges were applied to my bill for it. And the mobile user could reply to the text and I got it back on AIM.
