Well, my mom suprised me with a new cell phone today. She didnt buy me a plan though, so I have to go out and buy minutes. I just want to know if anyone here knows how many minutes it takes up to send/receive 1 TEXT MESSAGE

Only way to know is to ask the company that provides you with the phone connection thing.
I suppose your using pre-paid.
I aint got words for these phone things.

Maybe there's already a plan and you don't know..
If you have a minutes plan.. Usually they charge it externally..
Like you pay the minutes plan and if you send messages you pay more..

A cell phone without a text messaging plan is like a penis without blood...

If your cellphone uses a balance(you put cash on the phone yourself)then it will cost obviously.My texts costs 15 cents.My minutes cost 10 cents per minute.

Sounds like you have a pre-paid phone. 1 text msg is 1 minute.
There.

Not true. My old phone was .5 of a minute, and my OLD OLD phone was .3. It really depends upon the provider, even then it can vary phone to phone.

Ok, no one here is really understanding what I'm saying. I AM NOT PAYING A MONTHLY FEE.
I'm using minutes. That means you go out, buy a card ($5, $10, $20), call the number on the back, tell them the code on your card and you get a the amount of minutes that the card costs. Which means you only have x amount of calling time. I just want to know how many minutes it takes up to to send/receive one text message. 5 seconds off your minutes, 10 seconds off? I know it's not 1 minute each text.
Also, my provider is 'Bell'.
