Is iMessage free if you text in other countries?

I'm from the US and my friend is from Sweden. We both have iPhones and use iMessage. Would it cost extra for us to iMessage each other?

Yes, it would probably only be available on Wi-Fi since you won't have celltower access (based on your plan), but imessage is free everywhere.

  • Using iPhones in other countries? I'm going to Italy next week and I was wondering if I could use my iPhone 4 there without getting a plan? Like if I just turn off my 3G then I won't pay anything right? And I can just use it when there's Wi-Fi?
