> ... but i-message suddenly got me complaints from my sons one who is on an iphone and one who is not on an iphone. And my son on the iphone said he received my messages as email not texts even though I sent them from my text app.
I just tried sending myself a text message, from my iPhone 4S, with iMessage configured and working.
As I said -- sent to myself.
My AddressBook listing includes my iPhone number, my home number, AND my email address.
If, when I compose the message, I select my iPhone's number, the test message is sent as an iMessage, and is received essentially instantly.
If I instead select my email address, the test message is sent AS AN EMAIL (and incidentally, was in this case received with a several-minute delay).
If you check how your son's address is selected on your iPhone, when texting, this likely explains the email phenomenon.
> Now I am the only one with an unlimited data plan which was grandfathered in so far. But my younger son is constantly going over his plan. So I upped him to the next level which is $25/month. He went thru that in no time
The most common way to overrun a 2GB plan is by streaming audio or, even more likely, video over 3G. If so, he should try, whenever possible, to use Wifi for streaming. After all, an iPhone can easily contain hundred of hours of music in its storage.
