Send and receive iMessages on the iPhone 5C?

Can you send and receive iMessages on the iPhone 5C?

Added (1). I'm getting an iPhone 5C soon and I would like to know if I can send and receive iMessages on it. I know the Messages program is for text messages, but I do not know if iMessages can be sent and received as well.

Of course, all iphones have that.

My question is if I iMesssage someone and I leave the Wi-Fi area will I receive their response message when I find another Wi-Fi area or will I just never receive it?
  • Why won't my iPhone 6s Plus send iMessages and gets no notifications for messages? IMessage and notifications are on but it's still broken.

  • Why will my iPhone not receive iMessages for my phone number? I bought an unlocked iPhone and i was texting people through iMessage when I had Wi-Fi. Now I'm getting messages through normal texts only. When I go to the "Send & Receive" option under message settings, my phone number is there but it is gray in color and I can't select it. All the email addresses on the account can be selected but not my phone number. Can anyone help me?
  • 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?
