Is IMessage free even when I don't have Wi-Fi?

I know iMessage is only for apple products so me and my boy friend both have iPhones but the problem is were in a long distance relationship and he lives in a different country. So if I just have 3G is iMessage still free? Or not?

IMessage itself is free, but you may have to pay for 3G (since you still need to connect to the internet to send the message). If you already have 3G then using iMessage won't cost you anymore

Yes iMessage is free over Wi-Fi, 3G 4G LTE whatever

IMessage(iphone to iphone message) works on internet. So don't worry to cut your mobile balance.

No it is not. When not using Wi-Fi you would be using 3G/4G which is part of your data plan which you are charged for using.

Yes is free anywhere you use it, even internationally. Obviously you need a phone plan to use celltowers though if you don't have Wi-Fi, but no charge for messages.

  • Why won't iMessage work even when I connected to the Internet? I have an iPhone 4 and iMessage works with ever other person that I have on my contacts with an iPhone but not with this just one person. It goes off an on but lately it's been off most of the time even though we're both connected to the Internet. Someone help
  • Why is my iPhone charging me extra for data when I don't even have it on? I'm going to take my phone to Apple to see about this later, but I was thinking about asking this on here first. For the past couple of months, my iPhone 4 has been charging me data overages when I don't even have it on. It has been a huge problem lately, and I'm on AT&T on a 1 GB plan, and I have no idea what is happening. A friend of mine has expirenced the same problem, also. Do you know any ways to fix this?
  • Why do I have to pay even for free apps in the App store? I used to get free apps without any problem.
