Listen peeps:
iMessage just works from the messages app without you having to do anything. You don't have to have an email linked to the contact unless you want it going to an ipod touch or an ipad. It works just like facetime. your iphone is linked to an apple id already. If iMessages is being used, it will be a blue bubble, if sms is being used it will be a green bubble. iMessages uses data, so you need to have cell data or wifi to use it. If someone has an iPad or iPod touch and let's say a blackberry, when you type in the contact you want to send it to, it will show their number, and their email with a blue bubble next to it meaning that it will use imessage to contact them. It's up to you to choose which one you want to send it to or their availability to respond. y'all can communicate and figure that out like adults. If iMessages is not working for you, then you either don't have it turned on in settings>messages, you don't have a data connection, they don't have a data connection, or one of you isn't on iOS 5. It's really simple. Don't think about it too much. you can choose whether you want it to revert to sms in settings if imessages isn't available for those who have texting plans.
