Are iPhone push notifications charged against text plan?

[NJRonbo]

Have a few apps such as AP MOBILE and
MSNBC.COM that use push notifications to
message new news stories.

Are these push notifications counted as
text messages or are they separate?

I am concerned since I have a limited
text plan.

Thanks

Of course not! Push Notifications use data. If you have a unlimited data plan then you have nothing to worry about.

Vandam,

Had no idea what separated the
two between texting and push notification.

So, thank you for the clarification.

Not a problem🙂. I know at first some people may get confused because when receiving a text message and a push notification look awfully similar.
