Hi,
You can send iMessages to an iPod.  And you can either use your 
apple ID, or add an email address, to be used as the messaging 
ID.

Subject: Re: the difference between text messages and iMessages

Can you send an iMessage to an iPod? I'm asking because you said 
we don't need a phone number to send iMessages.  Also, what do 
you use instead of a phone number?
Thank you so much.  I have been trying to figure out the 
difference between these two kinds of messages for several years.

Best,
Terrie Terlau

Text messages are SMS messages that use your cellular provider's 
services..  You'll need a cellular number to send a text message.  
You can send text messages to any other device with a phone 
number that supports SMS.

What's The Difference Between iMessages and Text Messages on 
iPhone?


Underneath the surface, iMessages and text messages are 
fundamentally
different technologies, even though they both live in the 
Messages app

on your iPhone.
I think it's important for every iPhone owner to know the 
difference
between text messages and iMessages, because that knowledge can 
have a

significant
impact on your phone bill.

Regular text messages use the text messaging plan that you 
purchase

through your carrier.  There are two kinds of text messages:

list of 2 items
? SMS (Short Message Service): The original text messages that 
we've
been using for years.  SMS messages are limited to 160 
characters and can

only contain
text.
? MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service): MMS messages extend the 
capability
of original text messages, and support sending photos, longer 
text

messages, and
other content.
list end

Re: the difference between text messages and iMessages

2016-11-07 Thread 'Carol Pearson' via VIPhone 

Hi Linda and all,

I was thinking that maybe it's different if you're saving to an external 
drive. I know the limit is 32GB otherwise.


Perhaps someone knows if there's the same upper limit when using external 
drives. I personally would think there probably isn't such a limit since 
this would not be governed by the Touch but by the particular drive 
provider but I look forward to confirmation either way.

Hi Terrie,

Yes, you can send an iMessage to someone with an iPod using their email 
address, assuming they've configured iMessage to use that address.

Re: the difference between text messages and iMessages

2016-11-07 Thread Terrie Terlau 
Can you send an iMessage to an iPod? I'm asking because you said we don't need 
a phone number to send iMessages. Also, what do you use instead of a phone 
number?
Thank you so much. I have been trying to figure out the difference between 
these two kinds of messages for several years.
Best,
Terrie Terlau

Re: the difference between text messages and iMessages

2016-11-06 Thread Christopher Chaltain 
iMessages use Apple servers, so you can use them between two Apple 
devices. They will use your data and not your text messaging plan. You 
can use your Apple ID, and you don't need a cellular number.


Text messages are SMS messages that use your cellular provider's 
services. You'll need a cellular number to send a text message. You can 
send text messages to any other device with a phone number that supports 
SMS.

Carriers used to charge more to send MMS messages than SMS messages, and
some still do. Nowadays, most carriers most charge the same amount for
SMS and
MMS messages and count them as part of a single text messaging plan.

use data to send messages, not the text messaging plan you purchase

Carriers used to charge more to send MMS messages than SMS messages, and some 
still do. Nowadays, most carriers most charge the same amount for SMS and
MMS messages and count them as part of a single text messaging plan.

iMessages

iMessages are fundamentally different than text messages because they use data 
to send messages, not the text messaging plan you purchase through your
wireless carrier.

Benefits Of Using iMessage
list of 3 items
◾ iMessage does a whole lot more than SMS or MMS: iMessage supports sending 
photos, videos, files, locations, and a slew of other data types using the
Messages app.
◾ iMessage works over Wi-Fi: As you can imagine, sending and receiving photos 
or videos can use a lot of data, and you pay for that data using with your
cellular data plan. If you’re connected to Wi-Fi, you can send iMessages 
without using your cellular data or text messaging plan.
◾ iMessage is faster than SMS or MMS: SMS and MMS messages are sent using 
different technology than your iPhone uses to connect to the internet. You can
send photos and other large files a lot faster using iMessage than you can 
using MMS messages.
