Exactly. And, for me, I got rid of my texting plan for Google Voice texting over data a long time ago. So, most people don't have my
actual number, they have my Google Voice number. So, I set my "caller ID" as my email address instead. iMessage is surprisingly flexible, and pretty smart. Blue bubbles by contacts with iMessage is a fantastic idea, IMO.
