I don't know that AIM is going to be possible to start with, but if 200 sucks ass, then you need to pony up the additional $20/month to get the unlimited text plan. Instead of $20/month, you can pay $40/month and never worry about running over.

www.meebo.com

Is that page Flash or Java-based? Which one of those *doesn't* work on the iPhone, if either?

Check the 3rd party apps section and you can find a new app allowing AIM. Using this app will count towards the unlimited data not SMS.

meebo should work. It is javascript (not java or flash).
