how does OZ work?

[riironman]

I am confused and am having trouble looking for straight forward answers.

1. I heard it uses text but why does it need the internet?

2. Does it kill the battery when it stays on and does it go to idle?

3. after idle will it alert me when i get a message or does it spool the messages until i log on again?


I am used to having agile and im+ and those were battery killers. i loved verichat because it used data then switched to text after it went ito background mode...to bad thats gone.
