Can you text for free internationally with iMessage?

My boyfriend is deployed in Japan, and we both have iPhones. Can we use iMessage and not have to pay extra charges for international fees?

Should be free, i message is an internal program not really text messaging its more like a messaging app. If you have problems with it tell him to get text plus and make a us account it will work that way

Kakao Talk is a better messaging app, all smart phones could has that apps so you could also talk to your friends who use androids or blackberry.

True that iMessage is an internal application, but it ll consume your internet data for messaging. Its like watsapp, which is an application and gives free messaging but uses internet data at the same point of time. But the usage of internet data is very minimal. So you can use it without any hassle.

  • Will iMessage cost me when I'm traveling internationally but on Wi-Fi? I have an iPhone 4 and I'm in Canada however my standard plan just includes the states. I'm currently connected to my aunts Wi-Fi and I wasn't sure if by using iMessage I would have to pay international roaming rates or if it would be free still since I'm on Wi-Fi?

  • Is it free to use IMessage with your data internationally? Or is that only using Wi-Fi? I have a friend who is from Canada and I'm from the US. And he has an iPhone and so do i. He said that we can text on our phones for free internationally using iMessage, but what I've heard is that it's only free if you're using Wi-Fi. What about your data? Is it still free when I go out and am away from Wi-Fi and use my data? My messages still appear blue when I message him with my data but I'm concerned that it's not completely free when doing so.
