When using imessage with another iphone user, is it still free to message them if they're out of the country?

my friend is out of the country, and he wants use imessage, but i dont know if it will give me charges to my account and apple doesnt mention if it's only unlimited messaging within the country

iMessage uses data, just like an email, if I can use that analogy. It will not count as SMS, however I have read somewhere where some people have reported getting SMS charges when using iMessage. I believe it is impossible though, unless the message does not go through and you have send as SMS checked in settings if the iMessage fails.

Welcome to our family. We want you to be able to enjoy all the services we provide and we definitely need to address this. Do you receive/make calls without problems? Are you able to receive messages with your contacts' number? Are you using iMessages? If so, go to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive>only your phone number should be enabled.

HT204380 help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & it would not work. "FaceTime failed". we are both on wi-fi networks & iTunes accounts are set up correctly.

help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & call refused to connect. Call would dial, allow us to accept call, then error message "FaceTime failed" would appear & call disconnect. we are both on wi-fi networks, both phones have updated software & both enabled FaceTime with iTunes logged in. don't know what else to do to get FaceTime to connect. Someone please help.

Thanks Helen for the response. At least you can get some of the contacts to work. Absolutely none of mine will. Feel like my phone is cheating me out something it should do. Think I'm going to just have to dump all the Apple products in general because this phone hasn't worked right since I got it.

HT3529 Am I correct in assuming that if I iMessage with another iphone user while we are both in a foreign country, I will not incur texting charges?

Correct.

HT3529 Why when i send an imessage to another iphone user it sometimes sends as atxt message and the other person doesnt end up getting the message?

Sometimes when i send an imessage to another iphone user it comes out as a txt message. I was just wandering why this happens and sometimes when it does the message is never sent to the person.

You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At

Cant use iMessage with Every iPhone Users

Hi, I just bought my iPhone 4s yesterday.
My iMessage works for some of my friends (iPhone 4/4s user) but not for everyone.
I was using iPhone 4 with IOS 5.1.1 previously and my iMessage is fine for everyone.
But now with this iPhone 4s, when I text my friends, some messages sent via iMessage while some as SMS.
May I know how to fix this? Thanks.

for imessage each of your friends should have latest ios that is ios5 or later. data connection or connected to wifi. reset the phone settings and try

Charged for using iMessage with another iPhone

Why did I get charged for
Using iMessage and texting another iPhone!

was the other iPhone on the iOS 5? iMessages only works on latest iOS, so when you text an older phone it won't be free.
Also, even if you have iMessage, the color coding is what indicates if it will be an iMessage or an TXT Message.
iMessage = Blue
TXT Message = Green

i sent imessage to another iphone user who shares his apple ID with his wife, who also has iphone. Apparently, when I send imessage to him, his wife also receives same imessage that i sent to him. Anybody has any idea? would love to hear feed back thanks!

In his wife's phone go to Settings>Messages> and have her delete your friend's Apple ID/ phone number from the send and receive section

My iPhone 4 sending a iMessage to another iPhone user, the message will send then says not delieverd? So I have to send it as a normal text message .

Hey! So I'm having a problem with sending an IMessage to another iPhone user and they are having the same problem. The problem is; is that I send a message to them it will attempt to send then will say under the message that it was not delivered? So I send it as a normal text message. Weird part is that we both have full service and have the phone bills paid. Lol

There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

Iphone 5C will not sent iMessage to another Iphone user who has not installed ios7

I have found that if I am trying to send an imessage to another Iphone user who has not upgraded to ios7, the messages will appear in my history as "sending". I deleted that contact history and tried to send another text and it worked as it was sending as a "green message" rather than a "blue message". Is there a way to work around this?

Thanks for the answer. Disabling iMessage does work, but it's a bit clunky to have to do that every time I want to message him. Many of my other contacts have iPhones and I like the iMessage feature.
He's had the same number for years and I only recently have had this issue, he doesn't have iMessage on any device, he only has an iPod nano. I wonder what happened that all of a sudden it has defaulted to iMessage for him.
Any other ideas?

Is there any way i can let another iphone user view my recieved and sent messages?

Of course. Just show them your phone screen, and let them browse through your messages - the same way you would do so yourself.

I can use iMessage with all iPhone uses except for ONE person. That person can use iMessage with all other users, but not with ME. What's the problem???

I can use iMessage with all other iPhone users that I communicate with, except for ONE person. When I send to that person, it always goes through as a text message. This person can use iMessage with pther people, but when they send me a message, it always goes as a text. Why can we both communicate with other people using iMessage, but not with one another?

Hi Russell,
1) If you have OD set up and "editor" has UID 1111, then when they log in to any machine that's bound to OD as editor, they will get UID 1111. Therefore, there won't be any of these permission errors. This is typically the recommended approach.
2) I assume you mean "You'd prefer to not using open directory?" Whatever the case, OD isn't mandatory with Xsan -- it's just that with multiple user accounts, managing them centrally tends to be easier. For 3 or 4 accounts and 3 or 4 machines maybe it's no big deal. If you go larger, it could get a lot more complicated. That said, if you set it up such that each machine has the exact same set of users (as you said, Mary = UID 502, Fred = UID 503, William = UID 504), then you can do what you want. Mary can log in from multiple machines at the same time, and in general you won't have permissions problems. Of course, if you try and read and write the same file from multiple workstations at the same time, you will get file locking issues, which will prohibit somebody from successfully writing the file.
File locking issues are different from general permissions errors. The former basically says "hey, someone else is editing this file. Therefore I won't let you edit it right now... you can read it if you want though." Permissions means somebody saves it, and Xsan thinks you saved it and own the file, when you really don't.
