We got iphone 4s's in December, and our first bill had us being charged for imessages, as if they were text messages (showing up in my AT&T bill under text messages, counting towards my 200 messages, and then being billed additionally at $.10). Those were in fact imessages, because they are blue (NOT green) and even say imessage.We have all of our imessage settings set correctly, and we are running on OS 5 or higher. However in 6 calls to AT&T and 3 cases being opened about this problem, their only conclusion all three times was I must be wrong or colorblind and illiterate, that there was no way they could be imessages. My husband and I are on the same account, and they could see we both have iphone 4s's and they could see that we both were getting charged for texting each other, but they just couldn't comprehend that this could be happenning with imessages. They even tried contacting apple support with no luck. I switched my settings to not send as a text message when imessages don't go through, and it seems, fingers crossed, that this is working.<br /><br />This was incredibly frustrating, and I'd like info from anyone about how they were able to convince AT&T that this was a genuine problem they were having, and what the solution may be. I have a feeling that this problem is not over, so I would love that information if anyone has it.Julie Baberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02426162939229561537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-62861315280138894682011-12-01T22:54:52.522-06:002011-12-01T22:54:52.522-06:00I suspect Verizon can't track texts sent via i...I suspect Verizon can't track texts sent via iMessage, so doubt they can bill you unless Apple gives them transaction reports.<br /><br />I haven't read any reports of carrier responses to iMessage.

I am sure they hate it. Recently in Mexico on the iPad I could iMessage with my son on his iPod and a free text message app he has on there. Verizon said if I used iMessage with message on my iPhone it would be a text messages charge as using their service. This did not make sense to me, but I didn't want to risk being charged either. I love iMessage and would love to cancel the $30 family text message charge too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
