Is iMessage free if you text between iPhones using AT

Confused on a few things.  I have the iPhone 4 with 3G.  I don't use my phone all that much...use iMessage approx. 3x/week, and I listen to iHeart Radio at home on wifi.  This is my issue:  I got a notice that I was over my data usage and will be billed $15.  My questions are...is iMessage free when you text between iPhones on AT&T?  Does IHeart Radio use data?  I feel that I might have my settings wrong because my sister says she uses iMessage all e time and NEVER goes over her data.   How can I check my data usage so I don't go over again?  Thanks so much for the help!

It would be hard to imagine breaking your data plan with iMessage, unless you are passing some massive attachments.
On the other hand, iHeart radio is like Pandora, I think, and streams the music constantly while running. I wonder what happens if your wi-fi drops for a second while you are running that. Will your phone jump over to the cellular connection to keep the app running? If it does, that could easily explain the data overage.
You might want to play around with disabling cellular data when you know you will be parked under wifi for a while.That way, if wifi does blip on you, you don't start munching on your data plan.

  • Is iMessage to iMessage free to any device thats not using wifi?

    Is iMessage to iMessage free to any device not over wifi?
    Eg. iPhone to iphone using only data off a 3G provider like Telstra or Optus or Vodafone.
    Or will it still charge like an SMS ?

    No, you won't get charged like you would for an SMS, but it will use your data plan, if sent over 3G. However, the data usage is miniscule.

  • How to make a rubber effect like when you swipe between apps using 4 fingers on iPad ?

    Hey guys,
    So how to make a rubber effect like when you swipe between apps (first or last app) using 4 fingers on iPad iOS7 ? Any examples ?
    Thanks!
    Ivan

    Please do not double post the same question.
    Just like I said before. Animate X scale and position. Set the anchor point of the left image to the left side. You can then use an expression or just generate keyframes for scale. When you flip to the next screen then animate position. Easy basic animation except for the bounce. Key framing the bounce so that it looks natural takes a lot of experience or an expression.
    Google bounce expression after effects and find this. http://www.motion-graphics-exchange.com/after-effects/Wiggle-rubber-bounce-throw-inertia-e xpressions/4ad0f32a944ad
    There are a bunch of other solutions.
    There is no single click solution to this problem and it is not an effect, it is an animation.

  • Texts between iPhone 4S on same account not sending or receiving

    My husband and I both just got new iPhone 4S devices and we are not having trouble texting anyone else - but each other.  I checked Call Block and see that you can't block phone numbers from the same account.  His number is primary and my number is an additional line in our account.  I have my phone set to send as SMS when iMessage is not available, but my iMessages and SMS texts yesterday were not getting to him.  Most of the time, mine get to him, but then when he replies, I do not get his replies.  I think it's his phone, he thinks it's mine.  HELP!

    Are his settings correct also? Try the usual (reset/restart/restore or calling *228 and choosing option 2) to see if that helps. You might have to contact VZW tech support to make sure there isn't something on their end that needs to be taken care of. Also, if you know anyone else with an iPhone or iPod touch that uses iMessage you can try messaging them to see if any issues occur,

  • Is iMessage free when you travel oversees

    Sorry folks is this an idiot of a question, but when you going oversees and out of the UK, for example to Spain, does iMessage still remain free no international charges ect..

    Obviously ur trying to be a smart arse and have played on words so i will leave you to contiune to very unconstructive support. If you took the time to read between the lines of my questions you would see that is clearly what i have been saying.
    Its only now not through you i have discovered it uses a very small amount of data even for heavy user hence why it appeared as "free" as I have never really got any data usage against my account, as im mainly on wifi...hence why i thought it has appeared to be free.
    1. There is no "iMessage app."   iMessage is a function of the Messages app, which also does SMS and MMS.  iMessage requires 2 iOS devices running iOS 5 or later, with both connected to either cell data (i.e. 3G) or WiFi.
    Pandantic or what! That's whay i have been saying all along, obvioulsy you just wanna play on words
    3. iMessage is "free" everywhere - UK, USA, Tierra del Fuego, or Mars. There is no extra charge for international iMessages. The only caveat is that if the cell data network is used instead of WiFI, some of your data allotment is consumed and you're paying for that.
    It cant be free everywhere if  "The only caveat is that if the cell data network is used instead of WiFI",

  • Texting between Iphone and Droid

    I previously had an Iphone and switched to a droid. My mom and  2 sisters have iphones. My mom's text messages come through to my phone but I can't recieve my sisters texts. I have told them to try and hold down the imessage and select send as a text message and they have deleted my phone number and entered it back in. I also have gone onto my iTunes account and deleted my iphone off of it. What else can I do to fix this?

    When your sisters entered your phone number again, did they enter it as "mobile" as opposed to "iPhone"?  When your sisters send you a text message, are they starting a new thread now or using an existing message thread?  They need to use a new message thread in order for the message to get to you.
    Other than this, you have done most of the things that should be done.  The worst case scenario is that you would have to wait until 30 days have passed since you switched phones and your text messages should start coming in at that point.

  • Free Unlimited International Texting/SMS & iPhone 4

    I developed a mobile app that lets you send 100% Free International SMS.
    What I want to know is if there is anyway for a web application to access the contacts. So that the user can just tap the field or hold the field and the contacts appear then they can select their contact and it will be posted into the field for sending.
    Also I would really like to develop a real iPhone and iPad application for this site. Just something simple that would pretty much work the same as the mobile app. Any advice would be very welcome.
    Thank you

  • Texting between Iphone and Blackberry

    Hello,
    This may sound like a silly question, but my wife has a blackberry and told me that whenever I send her a text with my iphone, it ends up in her "mailbox" so the text is treated like email (which is funny because her texts always show up quickly in my Iphone text application). She showed me the Blackberry messenger application that allows her to have instant text conversations with other Blackberry users. Are there any third party applications for both of our phones that would allow us to have simple/immediate text conversations? I am sure this is old news to everyone, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    On the BlackBerry, the 'Messages' icon is a catch-all inbox. It collects messages from any messaging account linked to the device (email, text messages, mms, PIN messages, etc.)
    If she wants to separate her text messages into a different location, that's actually quite simple to do.
    On the device, change this setting:
    *Messages > Options > General Options > SMS and Email Inboxes = Separate*
    This will create a new icon on the device specifically for text messages.

  • How many calendars can you synch between iPhone and outlook?

    i've been happily synching 2 calendars but recently added a 3rd on Outlook.  it is not appearing on the phone.  it is, however, there on my iPad.

  • How do I send photos from a message/iMessage to an email address? iPhone used to be able to do that, not anymore with iOS 7 apparently.

    Here's what I know I used to be able to do with my iPhone: I could save an image I received in a text message to my photo gallery so that I could still see the image long after the message was gone. It literally showed up along with all of my own photos.
    I also want to say that I used to be able to send an email from the text message app. I can't remember how, but I remember forwarding messages to people who, say, I didn't have a phone number from and therefore could only recieve email from me.
    However, now I can't do any of this.
    I have photos I received in an iMessage that I want to send to my iMac OR forward via email to my Gmail account.
    I can't do any of it.
    If I use the new selection mechanism and check all four images and hit the "share" arrow, all I get to do is send another text message. If I type in an email address for a recipient, it doesn't let me hit "send".
    If I use the old fashioned selection system in which you drag the box arond the four images in the text message, I can "copy" that selection, quite the text message app, open up the Gmail app, paste the selection into a new Gmail and I see the four images. But when I send that gmail and receive it on my iMac... no images are present.
    How do I get images sent via text messsages saved and/or forwarded to an email address?

    I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage.  Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever.  After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed.  They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself.  After that, the pics go over imessage.  My own Iphone didn't have the problem.  We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

  • Cannot text with IPhone using Uconnect

    My uconnect does not let me recieve or send text messages thru my iphone?

    Uconnect isn't supported by Apple, so it's highly unlikely that anyone here would be able to troubleshoot it for you. As long as your apple services are working like iMessage, your phone is working fine. I would contact the developer of the app for more support

  • While i am texting, my iphone use to turn horizontal but now it only allows me to text vertical? why is this.

    My iphone 4 recently started only allowing me to type a text message vertical only. I like to type horizonal more. so this is a problem for me. I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or if it's a setting i accidently changed. Please help!

    You're positive it's off, correct? No orientation lock indicator in the upper right of your display? If so, reset your phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • How do you synchronise between macs using bluetooth?

    I have a imac and a macbook pro.  I have enable file sharing and got the two device connected via bluetooth, but csnnot seem to get the two to synchronise files.  Does anyone know the secret to the next step?

    I've never done it, but it looks like the application Bluetooth File Exchange, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, will do the first thing. As to printers and scanners, that is up to the developers of that hardware and their software drivers. Are you sure they're Bluetooth, though? I'm no printing/scanning expert, but I've never heard of such devices communicating via Bluetooth, which tends to be slow and short range. If they're wireless, that refers to wireless networking, which is different from Bluetooth.

  • My iphone can only text other iphones

    I can only text to other iphones?

    The iPhone can text other iPhones using iMessage. If you have set MMS and SMS to On, try contacting your carrier and having them make sure everything is setup correctly.
