Get unlimited texts or text using apps?
I'm getting an iphone 5 soon and my dad recommended that instead of getting the $20 unlimited text bundle, that i download one of those free text apps that let text for free. And i have used them before and they are ok but than i would have 2 different phone numbers and they are not very good, they lagg and sometimes drop texts. Also i think it is better to use the original messages app from the iphone. But than again $20 a month that can be saved is really good
what should i do? What do you recommend as far as apps?
please don't tell me to switch over to a different carrier or get prepaid or anything like that
When you get your phone just make sure imsg is turned on first (mine was off by default so you turn it on in the settings), that will make any normal msgs you send to other iphone users free, it won't count against your plan. I do the $5 for 200 msgs a month and never go over it but most of my msgs are imsgs.
Try Google Voice - it allows texting "for free" without all of the "junk" you get with other apps.
- Will I get charged for using 3G Internet if I have the unlimited data plan? My carrier is Sprint. I have an iPhone 4. I'm asking if I'll be charged if I don't use Wi-Fi.
- Why does my iPhone sometimes send texts to other iPhones as iMessages then regular texts to iPhones? Like when I send a text to my friend that has an iphone, it usually sends as an iMessage then it will randomly send as just a regular text and it will be green and not blue.
- Skype using iphone 4S 4G with At&t s UNLIMITED DATA PLAN? I was wondering if it really is okay to video skype using my phone with the unlimited data plan. I already tried it though, twice, for about 15 mins each and it didn't cost me. I want to chat for as long as I want to (at least an hour).So do you think it's okay and won't charge me extra?
- Over using data on unlimited straight talk plan? I have a straight talk iphone and they turned off all my data completely saying i "overused" my unlimited data plan. So i have to wait until my original service runs out which was just three days thank god, to add another 30 day unlimited plan. My only question is. Will my phone still work just fine like it did before this mishap. Can anyone tell me if this happened to them as well? And did your phone work with a new minute card? Or did you have to bjuy a whole new phone also?
