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.

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.

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.
list end
The One Drawback
list of 1 items
◾ iMessage only works between Apple devices. You can send and receive
iMessages from iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Macs, but not from Android
phones, PCs,
or other devices. If you’re in a group text with 8 people and 1 person
has an Android phone, the entire conversation will use SMS or MMS
messages – the
type of message that everyone’s phone is capable of having.
list end
How To Avoid A Large Phone Bill Because Of iMessage
Cellular data is expensive, and people ask me about it all the time.
I’ve written an article about
how to find out what’s using data on your iPhone,
and iMessage can be a major culprit. Since iMessage can send photos,
videos, and other large files, iMessages can eat through your cellular
data plan very
quickly.
Remember this: The iMessages you receive use your data plan too. Try to
use Wi-Fi as much as possible when you’re sending or receiving lots of
photos or
videos using the Messages app.
I hope this article has helped you understand the differences between
iMessages and text messages. Thanks for reading, and if you have any
other questions
about your iPhone, the
Payette Forward Community
is a great place to get help.
