Well first u have to know what Instant messaging is .When you instant message a person, you usually find a friend at your school or work who also have the same messenger system. Then you download either yahoo messenger or aol messenger which are both free of cost and viruses.Texting is just the same Only difference is data and how u have to pay to text. I hoped i helped
Text messages use cellular service to transmit data in similar fashion to making a phone call. Because of this, smartphones and traditional mobile phones are the most common devices people send texts from. .... But,you can install an instant messaging app and use your smartphones to send IMs while away from your computer.
