The messages app can be used with anyone who has iOS 5 or later. It can be set up with either any address you use with Apple ID or with a phone number. When you add a contact, you can indicate whether the mobile phone is an iPhone. Messages won't work with other smart phones. The interface is pretty straightforward.
