When you reply back to the message, you are sending the message back through the server which then relays it back to the other person (or through BeeJive).

So, if you are sending text messages through BeeJiveIM utilizing AIM or Yahoo IM services, then it won't cost you; however, when your friend receives it on his phone in the form of a text message, it will cost him.
(See Here)

In order to reply to you via text message, he'll need that "reply to" text message or he can send a text message directly to you by following a certain format. You can find the list of commands here for AIM users.

The only time it's completely free, is to chat within the app especially when using push notification.
Well I don't really care about my friends

But seriously, they all have unlimited text plans.
Thanks for the info!
