Re: IMessage Versus Text Message Question
Yes, two or more texts will be sent. They are usually joined together so that you won't notice the difference, but not always. If you want to force iMessages, you can go into settings, messages and turn off send as SMS. This prevents the iPhone from falling back to SMS when iMessage is unavailable, but of course it risks the recipient not getting your message for some time.

Re: IMessage Versus Text Message Question
I think that when IOS users activate their iMessaging accounts, their emails or phone numbers are added to an apple iMessaging database. It is in this way that your machine knows whether the person’s email or number you are trying to contact is in the database or not. all your contacts are identified as iMessaging contacts r not. This is the only way I can think of.

Re: IMessage Versus Text Message Question
And iMessage can have an unlimited number of characters. When you sent a message to someone who does not have I messaging, then their limit is 160 characters. If the text message exceeds 160 characters, It is divided into two or more text messages. Obviously the number of text messages received it depends on the number of characters in the original text message. For example, if the text messages 220 characters, the recipient will get one text message with 160 characters, then a second text message with the remaining 60 characters in it. -- Marcy weinberg Junior Partner Fedora Outlier, LLC Top down, BETTER THAN EXCELLENT ™ consulting, teaching and support http://www.fedoraoutlier.com 888-958-6979 ext.3801 ma...@fedoraoutlier.com On Feb 5, 2013, at 8:05 PM, Arnold Schmidt arno...@mindspring.com wrote: I understand that an iMessage can have an unlimited number of characters, but only can be used between Apple devices.

Re: IMessage Versus Text Message Question
Marcy, i will not argue what you said, but I have a habit of writing fairly long texts. In previous versions of IOS, I would write a text and would hear a whoosh and another woosh if it was too long. Now it always says iMessage and when I send I only hear one whoosh. Now, I do not know if my textee gets 2 texts, never asked, but all I hear now is one winging its way to whomever! Just an observation, and I may not know 2 are being generated on one whoosh.
