I like to think I am ahead of the curve on understanding technology and especially wireless, but some how this iOS feature for iPhone to iPhone messaging did not get through. iMessages do not count towards your text usage.Â
This is doubly painful since I recently upgraded my plan to include unlimited text on our family plan because my lovely wife has all but left email behind and replaced with texting. Maybe I should reconsider?
Anyway, I would love to know why I haven’t heard about this until now? Was it downplayed by Apple because it wasn’t inclusive of Android and other phones? Or was it an attempt by the carrier to push cost back to Apple (their user are notorious for high data usage vs. compressed data from Blackberry devices), which has now backfired (lowering the need for text plans)?
