Another frequently asked question is “Do imessages count as text messages?”.
As far as your cell provider is concerned, i. Messages don’t count as text messages. That means they don’t use up your text message allowance on your phone contract. However, if you aren’t connected to Wi-Fi, sending i. Messages uses your cell data instead.
This begs the question “How can you tell if a text message has been sent iMessage?”
You can tell if you have sent an i. Message because the shading around the message will be blue. Traditional SMS text messages have green shading around them. But even if you and your recipient have i. Message enabled on your Apple devices, it’s possible that a message will be sent as an SMS.
