Can I use iMessage for free with someone in a different country?

dj,
That is good to know. Have you  ever turned off wi-fi and used your cellular data instead? I'd like to know if your carrier charges you for the iMessage? I will be travelling with a +44 number on my sim card (Teletial based in the Channel Islands I believe) and some places like South Korea & Japan charge about  $30USD/MB. ( or 19 GBP/MB). The devil is in the detail. 
My carrier, 3, does not charge extra for cellular data.   I pay £34 per month for a cellular plan with unlimited data.  So, no, I do not get charged for sending iMessages whether I am on cellular data or wifi.  If I were to try to send an iMessage to an international number that did not belong to an Apple device, it would send as SMS and I am sure that standard international rates would apply.  Apple iMessage is a different protocol for users with an AppleID.  There is no way for the carrier to distinguish it from any other data traffic.

  • Can I use Keynote for Ipad with my PC?

    Can I use Keynote for Ipad with my PC?

    Unfortunately, this is not true either. For some reason, when you export to PDF, and open the PDF on a PC, it often says it cannot read the font and you get a PDF that looks like it's very sick.
    I'm not sure exactly how PDF works, but I don't know why it needs to be able to read a font correctly? I thought PDFs were readable on anything because it basically printed the document on a page, which is why you cannot edit it.

    if you use imessage to communicate to someone who lives in norway will it charge as an international text?

    Blue = Free (around the world)
    Green = Standard international SMS rates apply
    Facetime (video/audio) is also free just like iMessage.

  • How to secure my internet network so my neighbor can't use it for free

    I have a cable modem Motorola with a Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO router, with G5 desktop connected to wire and laptop wireless, I set up the Router with it's CD installation it takes me step by step, and at the end my network is connected and ready to go but it never asked to secure my network, according to my wireless laptop Macbook my network is not secured I see other people's network lock sign, but mine is missing, How do I lock it, and where do I start from, I've been using Apple for 20 years but wireless network is new to me.
    thank you in advance for your help

    In addition you want to;
    a) Make the network closed. This means that it won't show up using normal means when somebodys computer does a network search. Sometimes you'll see an option for not broadcasting the SSID, that's the same thing.
    b) Use MAC address filtering. This means that even if you know the password you won't be able to connect if your MAC address does not match that which you have entered into the routers configuration.
    c) Also as has been mentioned by Matt Clifton, WPA is the way to go. Choose WPA2 though if it's available.
    d) Once complete, make a copy of the configuration settings if the router allows it.
    Again, a really determined hacker will be able to breach, but most people are not really determined hackers. Basically make switch on every available security feature you have. If you forget the password and can't get on it's easy enough to press the little hard reset button on the back of the device and reload the copy of the configuration settings you made earlier.

  • How can i use labview for communicating with pic18 microcontroller through usb port?

    Hi all,
    I want to make a DAQ card using pic 18 microcontroller which has a built-in usb protocol. I have the firmware of this
    controller which will  make it as a usb device. How can i receive the analog voltages from this DAQ card in Labview? or i mean to say that how i can communicate labview with the Pic 18 microcontroller through usb port? I have also the
    mpusbapi.dll file which is for Visual C++. Can i make changes in this dll file to make it compatible with labview?

    Which labview version do you have. Up to labview 7.1 it was no USB raw communication options. I have heard it did not work well in 7.1, but from 8.x most of the errors were fixed.
    Here is a link it should be useful http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=340676&query.id=365864#M340676
    Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
    (Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

  • How Can I Use Bluetooth For Sharing With iPhones?

    Hello, i have an iPod touch 3rd Gen. 32GB, And I'm Wondering How Could I Share Music or Photos With My Cousin's iPhone (Jailbroken iPhone), When I Turn The Bluetooth On, Nothing Shows Up On My iPod Or On Here iPhone,
    So How Could I Share Things With Her I Have ''File Share'' And ''Bump'' Apps
    So what should I Do???

    You can't share music over air or by Bluetooth because of several reasons of which is understandable by apple. Apple doesn’t provide any way for you to copy files from your iPod back to your Mac/ between iPods or iPhones. While there are legitimate reasons for blocking bi-directional copying— which again the word music piracy comes to the mind
    The only thing that I heard that you could share with iPhone to iPhone/ iPod touch is photos&contacts an app called "bump" and "Bluetooth photo share". With those applications you and your friend can share photos/phone contacts and other kind of files.
    "Bump" application link below:

  • Can't use Mail for Exchange With E71

    I downloaded MFE for My nokia E71, and as i am using Microsoft Exchangelabs.com as my exchange server. unfortunately MFE is not working, i mailed a couple of MS technical support and the final remark was
    (the implementation of the Exchange ActiveSync is not compatible with Exchange Labs. For example, E71 may not support wild card certificate (*.exchangelabs.com) Exchange Labs uses for ActiveSync.)
    I installed Roadsync to check on the exchangelabs.com service, It works smothly. However I would prefer to Use MFE. Could any one help me on this issue.

    After playing around for a while, I'm now able to get my exchange mails working.
    The issue was:
    I installed MfE by using my phone browser which was working synced but didn't give me the icon to check my mails.
    Solution to this particular issue is:
    Un installed the MfE which i previously downloaded.
    I downloaded MfE from Nokia web site and used Nokia PC Suite to install in on my phone.
    Re created the profile
    Synced it.
    and I was able to see the Mail for exchange icon to check my mails.

  • Can I use iChat to chat with someone using gmail's chat utility?

    ...and how?
    Thanks.

    As a first choice iChat suggests you use a AIM or @mac.com name.
    SInce iChat 3 though you have been able to use Jabber IDs as well and GoogleTalk is a Jabber server.
    If you have a GoogleMail ID then you can set up iChat too use that and Text chat to your GoogleTalk able Buddies.
    The link Niel posted shows you how to do it in iChat 3 but it is the same in iChat 4 except that you have a Jabber/GoogleTalk split like you have an AIM/@mac.com one when Adding new accounts types.

  • Updated to iOS 6, can't use iMessages for all of my numbers. It sends message that the number is not registered on iMessage. Help!

    Updated to ios 6, imessage sends back "number not registered". I need to know how to register numbers to imessage account.

    On your iPhone running ios6 whose number you want to register, simply log out of imessage and log back in, it should then ask you if you want to add it.
    A short time later you will get a push on your device saying it adding xxx-xxx-xxxx to your apple id
