IMessages I want to turn off?

So I have unlimited texting. And I just want to turn my iMessages off only because I don't want people to know I have an iPhone cuz every time people want to FaceTime and it's just annoying. So I'm just wondering if anything will happen I know it will just send as a text message but is there really a point in having iMessages if you have unlimited texting and it won't count against your plan if I text using regular texting

No nothing will happen if you have unlimited, iMessage is just a faster thing for iPhones I guess you could say and it uses Wi-Fi but text messages are normal too.

Go onto settings and scroll down, you will see the tab Messages with a little icon, click on that and click the off button. If you ever want to turn it on again just turn it back on and enter your apple id.

Just tell them you don't use facetime. Pretty simple.

You already know that you can turn iMessages off. The point in iMessages if you have unlimited is that perhaps some of your contacts do not have unlimited and would rather send via iMessage because it would not cost them.

In that case, I would not turn iMessages off but simply turn Facetime off and let my contacts know that I do not want to Facetime.

  • Why is my Iphone not sending as Imessages and receiving iMessages from one person? I'm texting my wife and we both have iPhone's and she is getting the messages as an iMessage but the ones I'm sending her on my end show up at green. Sometime it will go as blue, get the little red exclamation point then send as regular SMS. I'm texting someone else too and she has an iPhone, and she is getting mine as regular iMessages and mine are sending as regular iMessages. Why aren't they sending to me wife as iMessages?
