HT3529 Does imessage work worldwide?

Does imessage work worldwide between iphones?

iMessage does work worldwide. As long as all users have an iPhone and add their email address on Messages, then it will function for free. Note that if your friend does not have iMessage, it will cost SMS/MMS charges by the carrier in World Traveler prices.

  • HT3529 Does iMessage work in Argentina to U.S. iMessage users?

    I will be traveling to Argentina and wondering if iMessage works on wifi? I will be turning off my data on my phone so not to incur charges (airplane mode). Will facetime work also?

    Yes. Country doesn't matter, either for iMessages or Facetime. So long as you have a good Wi-Fi connection and the owner of the connection doesn't do any unusual site blocking, it should work just fine.
    Regards.

    Does iMessage work only through wi-fi? Is there a way to make it work with 3g?

    I do, but iMessage only worked one day for me before it stopped... whenever I try to activiate it, it either says "Waiting for activiation" but nothing happens... Any help would be much appreciated!

  • Does iMessage work over 3G?

    I believe iMessage works only on wi-fi between iOS5 devices, with both sides needing to be on a wi-fi network. Recently, I have sent and received texts when I know I have not been on wi-fi, but on my 3g Verizon network. The other side may or may not have been on wi-fi. The thing is: Both the sent and recieved messages show the blue color theme vs. the green as for regular texts.
    Does iMessage REQUIRE 2-way wi-fi?
    Are there situiations where iMessage will work over the cellular network?
    If wi-fi IS rquired, why do I see the blue balloons?
    TIA,
    picman

    In digging a bit, I believe the following article answers my question - and a few more.

  • Does imessage work with iphones only?

    Does Imessage only work for iphones or does it work with android too?

    Ok folks, here is a question for you Mac gurus!
    You said any iphone running iOs 5 and above?
    what can you tell me about using iphone 3Gs phones?
    my wife and my mother both have these phones.
    They are iOS 6.1.x
    and messages is the GREEN app for regular SMS
    I wish to help my mother and wife to use the iMessage service.
    Like you said above I set them each up with an APPLE ID
    But, I have not been able to teach the or download any iMessage app because that I think is for later phones.
    Is this correct?
    Is iMessage a feature for only iPhone 4 and above?
    If not how can I work with the MESSAGES app and not use the CELLULAR SMS *(currently with us is AT&T ala carte which is like owning a payphone ....not good)
    thanks for any information
    J. singleton makin  :-)

  • HT3529 will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

    will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

    It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
    On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores.

  • HT3529 does imessage use up my data

    does imessage use up my data?

    Only if the game or app requires an internet connection and when not connected to the internet via an available wi-fi network your iPad has access to.
    To test if a game or an app requires internet access to function, turn on Airplane Mode before using the game or app. If internet access is required, you will be provided a warning message that internet access is required. 

  • Does iMessage works on an iPad WiFi only(no 3G)?

    I´m trying to activate iMessage on an iPad Wifi only(no 3G), but it fails saying there´s a problem with my network connection, the same network i use my iPhone 4 where iMessage seems to be activated.

    I´ll have to find out what´s wrong, because Safari does work. I must say its a Ad Hoc connection with my PC at work, where the network uses proxy. But navigation on Safari works fine on the iPad. I´m going into Setting - Messages - and there it asks me to put password and start the session. After sometime it says the session couldn´t be started.

  • Does iMessage work for international use?

    I'm in the United States and my friend from Canada has iMessage and we were wondering if iMessage will work internationally without any extra fee. Does anyone know?

    .. can't get away with using data allowances. Usage is really negligible.
    Before sending what you think is an iMessage, look out for the following:
    1. Open Messaging or the iphone's app for SMS.
    2. Start new message / new conversation.
    3. In the To: key in your contact name/number.
    4. If your SMS input field says "Text Message" (grayed out), then you will be sending a text message (SMS).
    If the SMS input field says "iMessage", then be confident that the other person has its iMessage enabled and therefore you WILL be sending iMessage over.
    5. Send message. Watch for blue bubble
    Note: Both you and the other person must have iMessage enabled (Settings > Messages > iMessage = ON)

  • How does iMessage work

    I am still learning and understand features related to my iPhone 5th Gen. as well as the software iMessage for the Mac. Im curious to know, if I am  sending someone an iMessge and they are long distance ( in my case germany to america) does it cost me anything extra. I have a flat rate plan with vodaphone, and use WiFi in my home.

    iMessage over Wi-Fi is free...

  • Does iMessage work only with Cellular data, without WiFi, on iPad?

    Hi,
    I am unable to send iMessages (to iPhone from my iPad).
    I am not connected to WiFi. And only use Cellular data..
    Is it compulsory to be on WiFi to send iMessages?
    When I try to send, it shows an error message: iMessage is not Delivered.

    I understand the the iPad can't send SMS, it is not a phone, and SMS uses the voice connection not the data connection.  iPad has only a data connection.
    Thanks for the responses.  I am inclinded to believe that the carrier has no control over the data being sent and that it couldn't stop Messages (or any other app) even if it wanted to and I really really hate trying to call and speak with Verizon.  Really hate it. 
    Put that together with my experience that if something is supposed to work, but doesn't it is probably me.  I'm still thinking that my friends and I all have something not set right, but what?
    The correction steps talked about all assume that if Messages works with Wi-Fi it will work for cellular.  Messages works just fine when I have Wi-Fi, but doesn't work when I'm on Verizon LTE cellular data.    Should Messages show up in Setting >> Cellular Data >> Use Cellular Data For: ?  I get the feeling that since it doesn't appear here as an app that can use cellular data, it can't.  So the question is, how can I get the Messages app to use cellular data?

  • Does iMessage work with Wifi???

    I try to use my Imessage. I have a Iphone 4 wich has iMessage in its settings, so I suppose it works. But I can't find out how to set it up and also how it works!!! Please some help?

    It should work on wifi considering the same program works on iPod Touches and iPads. Setting it up should just require a phone number and an Apple ID (and an optional Email).
    Thank you for choosing Apple.
