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",

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.

If you are on wifi then correct there will be no charge.
As for the settings in the iPhone I don;t have mine in front of me right now but turning off SMS should limit the messages to wifi. In addition you can also turn off doing any or most data transfers if you are not connected to wifi to limit what data goes over the 4g

Has anyone else had Itunes bill your bank account for $99.99 for an app/gam that (a) you didn't authorize and (b)it states "FREE" when you finally find this app? Now they are bs'ing around and will not give me my money/I want to speak w/management!!!

ITUNES HAS CHARGED MY DEBIT CARD $99.99 FOR GLOBAL WAR RIOT-SOME GAME I DID NOT KNOW WAS LOADED ON MY OTHER PHONE; HOWEVER, WHEN I PULLED UP THIS APP TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS WAS I SURPRISED TO SEE I COULD DOWNLOAD IT FOR 'FREE'. I HAVE CONTACTED ITUNES THROUGH THIS REDICULOUSLY CHICKEN SH_T SYSTEM THEY USE SO THEY DO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE TO HEAR HOW UPSET A PERSON IS NOW THAT THEY CANNOT BUY FOOD FOR THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE OF A MISTAKE MADE ON ITUNES PART. I DID RECEIVE AN EMAILED RESPONSE FROM STEPHANIE WHO ADVISED THIS WAS PUCHARED ON A PHONE THAT HAS PURCHASED DOWNLOADS IN THE PAST. I WONDER IF SHE THOUGHT TO LOOK AT MY ENTIRE DOWNLOAD HISTORY AND DISCOVER THAT NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN PURCHASED ON MY ITUNE ACCOUNT IN THE AMOUNT REMOTELY CLOSE TO WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING ME NOW. THAT IS BECAUSE I DO TRY TO MONITOR THIS ACCOUNT AND OBVIOUSLY THIS LAST PURCHASE WAS DONE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE UNTIL I CHECKED MY ONLINE BANKING ACCOUNT, WHICH I DO EVERY DAY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE APP STATES IT IS FREE TO INSTALL WHEN YOU PULL IT UP SO NO ONE HAS CLARIFIED TO MY WHERE THE $99.99 COMES INTO PLAY. I WILL NOT DROP THIS UNTIL MY BACK ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PROPERERLY CREDITED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME IT TOOK YOU TO TAKE MY MONEY. I WILL LAUNCH A COMPLAINT WITH EVERY POSSIBLE ENTITY IN THE ITUNES COMPANY AND BUSINESSES OUTSIDE THAT REGULATE THEIR BUSINESS UNTIL THIS HAS RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR AS I AM THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN VICTIMIZED BY A COMPANY I INVITED INTO MY TELEPHONE NETWORK IN GOOD FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reading that is giving me a headache, how about normal type.

My ipad doesn't seem to make a sound when it is closed or in sleep mode to let me know there is an imessage until you see it on the screen that someone has imessaged. When you're taking it makes the swoosh sound, just not when it's in sleep mode. Help

Am having some problems with the sounds on my ipad, specifically my imessage notification sound when your ipad is in sleep mode and someone is messaging you. It seems to work with the swoosh sounds when you are actively messaging back and forth, but as soon as I close my ipad up and is locked or in sleep mode, I don't know anyone is messaging me until I look at my ipad. I've tried a few things.. But nothing has worked so far....Please help!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

IWork is not free when you buy an imac ?

I do not understand.
I bought a new imac last week and I thought that came with iWork for free.
But when I launch Pages, Numbers or Keynote, I get a window that asks me to buy a license number or try the software for 30 days.
Please help !

Oh the real problem is something else!
You have Pages 5 in your Applications folder.
You have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder.
When you try to open a Pages 5 file with Pages '09 it tells you you need to upgrade, because Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files.
Just open the right files with the right version.

Is streaming free when you're in a wifi area

I was told that internet usage is free on my Iphone 4 when I'm in a wifi network. Does that go for streaming on Iheart radio as well?

For the most part, yes streaming music on WiFi does not count on cellular data. You can turn on Airplane Mode or disable Cellular Data via settings/phone and then activate WiFi if it gives you comfort.

Hi i was wonder if you all can't have a time sync Calender, like when you traveling it will display when is the next holiday an full moon, or any info about the place you going to

Sorry the site didn't suggest these articles, but from your description, I'd start here:
* [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
* [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]

If you bought games from the app store on your ipod touch, is it free when you try to get it on the macbook pro app store?

Okay so, I bought angry birds a while ago, and Im wondering if I can get angry birds onto my macbook from the new app store that came out not too long ago. Will I still have to purchase it?

I heard about that when you update to mavericks, the Iwork, Numbers and Keynotes are for free, aren't they?

I want to know if Iwork, Numbers and Keynote are for free when you update to Mavericks?

Only if you purchased iWork or a new Mac from October 2013 onwards.

Why is iWork not free when I update to ios7

I purchase my iPhone 5 last Seprember 7. I've read that iWork will be free for all iOS device purchase after September 1st. But why is it not downloaded in my iPhone when I updated to iOS 7? When I check in the apple store it is sti $9.99. Have I misread something?

No, JLupina, you did not read incorrectly.
iWork is free when you purchase a new ios device beginning Sept 20.
Downloading the new OS is not a purchase, and certainly not a purchase of a new device.
Them's the rules.

HT2731 Why will not let you use an Apple ID for free when reseted

Why if you reseted a iphone 4 that already had an free Apple ID on it but when you try to make a other free Apple ID on the same iphone 4 but reseted it still will not let you get an new one

Hi,
Some ISPs (the people that supply your internet) have porr DNS servers meaning that sometimes that cannot resolve where an app is trying to connect to.
In System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (two Google Public DNS servers)
If that does not work then go to the Apple Menu > About this Mac
In that Panel click twice on the line that tells you the Current OS versin.
It should change to the Build number (Another Apple Internal Counting of the OS version) and then show you the Serial Number.
If it is not present it will need "replacing" at an Apple Store or An Apple Authorised Service Provider.
The Number should be on the Logic/Motherboard.
If the board is replaced in a repair or refurbishment then the Number should be "flashed" to the new board.
If that does not seem to be the Issue have the Finder as the app in the Menu Bar
GO Menu > Go to Folder
Type etc/hosts into the Dialogue Box that appears.
This will show you a Hidden folder (etc) and a file called Hosts in it will be highlighted.
Right click the file and use the Quick Look Option to see the contents.
It should read like this if it is unalerted.
Some apps can change this file and you can have blocks to certain sites for certain apps listed.
If it lists Apple or Verisign then the iMessages App cannot register.
Let use know if this is the case and we can give further instructions.

Probably you have never experienced this, but I have lost the ability to iMessage.
When I try to turn on iMessage, it tells me that "an error occurred while trying to turn on iMessage."
It's not a huge deal, but people with iPhones can't text me back unless they try to re-send after finding out that their message wasn't delivered.
Help!
I think I have gone through every support option available, short of
Scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar. But I have been to the store three times in the last three weeks.
To solve a different problem, the folks at the store replaced my iPhone 4S.
I came home and loaded my backup onto the new phone. Everything EXCEPT iMessage seems to be working great.
I would really appreciate any feedback...

HT2105 When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it

When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it bad?

iTunes credits are, for example, if you download a song from the store and it's found to be corrupt - if the track can't be fixed then iTunes support will tend to give you a song credit for a free download.
When you purchase music from the store then any credits that you have will be used first, then any balance that you have (e.g. from iTunes gift cards or allowances), and any remaining amount will be taken from your credit card.
