No, it doesn't cost any money.
Just create a screen name, download and install the software, and then sign-on.
It is easy to use and free.

Well, obviously to have AOL as your internet sevice, it will cost the monthly fee, but if you don't have AOL, downloading AIM (which is basically the same thing) is free, and you can get it from www.aim.com just find where it says download. you'll have to create a screename, but it's 100% free.

you will get charged. each and each message you deliver on AOL is charged as a text fabric message. till you get your self an information superhighway utilization plan, it particularly works out an costly thank you to apply chat customers.

you can download it for free, but i dont like the new aim triton. it looks way different and is harder to use in my opinion that the slighter older version. on www.aim.com underneath the large "download now" button, there is a small link that says "looking for classic aim? download 5.9 now." That is what i recommend using.

Nope. And they have changed policy to be free to all broadband and DSL users and lowered rate for dial-up. That is for all of their services not just im.
