Re: [apple-iphone] Are iMessages free?

 

I saw that difference which I had never seen before when I went to reply to a message. That's what prompted this discussion. I didn't know it would do that with a fresh conversation. I'll keep an eye out but I use TextPlus when initiating text messaging. 
Thanks.

Look in the area where you type the message. When you put in the person's name to set the destination phone number it will say iMessage in faint print if it will be sent as an iMessage and Text Message if it will be sent as a regular message.

Ok, so the problem with all this is you never know until AFTER you've sent it, what it went as and if you'll be charged or not. Not having a texting plan, every message in and out costs. I want to know if I'll be charged before it is sent. Once it's sent, it's too late.
I have an unlimited data plan, but even if I didn't, I have a data plan, so it's covered in my normal bill. With these text messages, I cannot control my bill as even spam that gets sent to me, I have to pay for the privilege of receiving that junk. Not only that, but then to stop it, I have to then pay to send another text to say stop. I don't have a text plan because I don't want or use texting attached to my phone number. I can text for free with a third party app. Problem is, I can't disable texting itself. And with iMessage intertwined with SMS message, I guess they can't be decoupled. I don't use iMessage either because I don't text and if I did, how am I to know if the other person has the same phone as me?
