Side point....in iMessage when some one is typing you see a bubble with three dots appear "...". So hopefully they are/have read you message.

Why would you not use it? There no down side at all...

I turned iMessage off on the wife's phone. I was grandfathered into AT&T's unlimited data plan, but she is not and only uses the budget plan, so sending and receiving text via the data network may push her over and cause a different sort of overage fee. PLUS, since I have a daughter that sends/receives THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of texts, we already have the unlimited family messaging...

There's one downside.

I wonder how the phone figures out what phone the person your messaging is using and which iOS before it decides to send SMS or iMessage ?

it works simple.. everything gos through apple servers for imessage.. it checks if the phone number or email is registered with imessage service and sends a message its that simple
