Re: [apple-iphone] Are iMessages free?

> And add to that it has to be iPhone to iPhone on both ends. But sometimes the other end can not receive it as an iMessage, even though it is an iPhone, and then it reverts to a regular text.

iOS and MacOS — and only these — can send iMessages, IF they are properly set up for it in preferences, and IF they are messaging with a device that also has it set up.

iMessaging is not free, but you pay only for the actual data you use to send the message (1 byte per character sent: 1 megabyte, a pretty trivial amount of data, corresponds to a million characters, or roughly 200,000 words).

As opposed to 20¢ per message flat rate for a 140-character SMS text message on a pay-as-you-go plan.
