Terry Everall Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have just updated my op system on my iPhone 4S. I now have to send messages as iMessages . Is this the same as a text and does it use 3G as well as Wifi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentinik Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 yes thats correct, however you can turn iMessage off in message settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 What would be the advantage of turning it off? I could not send a text today as it said i must activate iMessage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentinik Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 What would be the advantage of turning it off? I could not send a text today as it said i must activate iMessage I have found if i don't have a good 3g or wifi signal (or the recipient) then the message won't send. However if turned off you don't need a 3g signal to send a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 so now I have enabled "iMessage" will the text still go by 3G if I am not in a Wifi area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattt Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 If it can't send an iMessage due to no data etc, then it will give you the option to send as text. iMessage shows as blue, text as green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
