Hello Hope, They can send iMessages as long as they have updated their phone to iOS 5 and have enabled iMessages. I always find it amazing how many people who are simply "users" and not very interested in technology itself are still running older iPhones like the 3GS or 4 on the software that was on it when they received the phone. Just tell your friend to check which version he/she has under "Settings, General, About and if they do have iOS 5, iOS 5.01 or iOS 5.11 they have to check in "Settings" and "Messages" whether iMessage is turned on, if it is not they have to do so and sign in with their Apple Id and password.
