Is blackberry messenger free if you already have a data plan?

I have a Blackberry with Verizon. When I use certain instant messengers such as AOL it counts as SMS texts, but I have been reading here that if you use Blackberry Messenger no matter what service you have that they won’t count as a SMS text. Is this right?
