Is data used when Imessaging with the iphone?

I only get a certain amount of RAM a month, does Imessaging use data? I turned off my data since i'm on Wi-Fi, but then the imessages do not sent? Do they use alot of data?
Just got my iphone yesterday, so i'm slowly learning haha.

Yes it does use data

If you are talking about regular text messaging on your phone, that does not use data nor Wi-Fi, but it is a provider option, so you may need to pay more for text messaging.
Regular text messages use cellular network, not data.

If you are talking about e-mail messages or I'm messages using some app, that will use data, and Wi-Fi if connected properly should work for these.

Another option for text messging is google voice, you can install the google voice app, get your own google phone number (separate from your sell phone number)

and use Wi-Fi to send and receive text messages for free to any number in US or Canada.

  • Switched from iphone to galaxy s3 and I'm having issues with imessaging? All my friends with iphones are having issues texting me. I don't know what to do. I know it's because of imessage. If I turn that off on my end (My old phone and my ipad) will that fix it?

  • Is imessaging with iPhones free? I'm in Korea using only Wi-Fi and want to text my friend in the US who uses Wi-Fi and 3G. Would imessaging be free? Even if one is on Wi-Fi and one is on 3G?
  • Is iMessaging internationally free? Quick question, i have an ipod touch and an iphone 5s, living in the UK. My friend has an ipod touch too and an iphone 5 living in america. They have imessage activated on their ipod, i have it activated on my phone as i rarely use my ipod.
