Is iMessage free internationally? - 1

I would like to iMessage my friend who currently lives in Canada and I live in the new york in the US. We both have iphones so we both have iMessage. Will it cost money to imessage back and forth because we live in different countries?

It won't. But if you do it over 3G/4G/EDGE whatever, then it'll use up megabytes. Fine over Wi-Fi!

  • 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?
  • What is a good app to use to text for free internationally for the IPhone? I'm going to Mexico in a week and I want to be able to communicate (text, calls) with family in the US while i'm there. What is a good app to download for an Iphone that would be completely free for me and the other person?
  • Is kik free internationally I have it on my iPhone and I'm liking someone in England! Will I get charged? I know it will use my Internet but will I get charged other then that?
  • 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.
