Re: the difference between text messages and iMessages
Hi, You can send iMessages to an iPod. And you can either use your apple ID, or add an email address, to be used as the messaging ID. Sent from a BrailleNote - Original Message - From: Terrie Terlau Can you send an iMessage to an iPod? I'm asking because you said we don't need a phone number to send iMessages. Also, what do you use instead of a phone number? Thank you so much. I have been trying to figure out the difference between these two kinds of messages for several years.

Re: the difference between text messages and iMessages
Hi Linda and all, I was thinking that maybe it's different if you're saving to an external drive. I know the limit is 32GB otherwise. Perhaps someone knows if there's the same upper limit when using external drives. I personally would think there probably isn't such a limit since this would not be governed by the Touch but by the particular drive provider but I look forward to confirmation either way.

Hi Terrie, Yes, you can send an iMessage to someone with an iPod using their email address, assuming they've configured iMessage to use that address.

Re: the difference between text messages and iMessages
Can you send an iMessage to an iPod? I'm asking because you said we don't need a phone number to send iMessages. Also, what do you use instead of a phone number? Thank you so much. I have been trying to figure out the difference between these two kinds of messages for several years.

Re: the difference between text messages and iMessages
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.

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. list end https://secure.ace.advertising.com/site=848201/size=728090/u=2/bnum=20004995/wkhr=17/hr=17/hl=3/scres=1/swh=1366x768/sd=1/tile=1/f=2/r=1/optn=1/rclk=https%253A%252F%252Fadclick.g.doubleclick.net%252Faclk%253Fsa%253DL%2526ai%253DCJMYMIMYfWND4MdOApgO_hIjACNvS6pRGzeivteUBwI23ARABIABgybaGh8yjwBeCARdjYS1wdWItOTMwNTY3MDIxMDU3OTU1McgBCagDAaoEvgFP0Ann1Y-WpVy0BODXY0XtWhCyfq7guwR7FAWU-XB5KrZlZrEmZ0FpCDD8SFdIPVsogRqXIGnEjr-AH5hk5qakahsOnFPLmxQyGYaQNUWZQl3NizeNaNexoDwAcked3cuo2zarpA1D5dCaGFRnFwxRp0kVrhh9k7qZfx_zKS4rwzGSRVWugJWE5W6BG-EaOh4TcON3DMqY2Uhv1QMOSKpFznNQu8nQpdEtOitgeoWfTQW6-ujyQ2DFbQTkmBWmgAaei86727aCiZ8BoAYhqAemvhvYBwDSCAUIgGEQAQ%2526num%253D1%2526sig%253DAOD64_2iB8lxbx7UPZnET2NQb8CsO8DLhg%2526client%253Dca-pub-9305670210579551%2526adurl%253D/kvismob=2/fv=23/aolexp=0/tags=1/dcprice=WB_GIAAMfFAKaYBTAAICP8t6SD_GQEGkBinP8A/logignored=0/rip=ChRqcjYxMDAxNDM1NjIyMzE4MDA0ORIlQVM0MTA2ODgxNTExYmI2MGY0ODdiODlkYjNmZjAwMzY4ZjA1NRgHIgsxNjgyMTM1NDI3NyoAMhZ3d3cucGF5ZXR0ZWZvcndhcmQuY29tOLWIlAFAT0gAfQa5izudAQa5izulAUgxLD-tARalOTvdARalOTvoAQHyAQViZWxvd_0BBrmLO7ACJr0CAACAP8UCAMoCByAsZmFsc2XSAgcgLGZhbHNl6gIHcHJpbWFyeQ/rc=7F1D63DB3F034007037A428950D64835/bci=0/bidid=WB%252FGIAAMfFAKaYBTiAICPw%253D%253D/pid=1003/dref= frame get https://secure.ace.advertising.com/site=848201/size=728090/u=2/bnum=20004995/wkhr=17/hr=17/hl=3/scres=1/swh=1366x768/sd=1/tile=1/f=2/r=1/optn=1/rclk=https%253A%252F%252Fadclick.g.doubleclick.net%252Faclk%253Fsa%253DL%2526ai%253DCJMYMIMYfWND4MdOApgO_hIjACNvS6pRGzeivteUBwI23ARABIABgybaGh8yjwBeCARdjYS1wdWItOTMwNTY3MDIxMDU3OTU1McgBCagDAaoEvgFP0Ann1Y-WpVy0BODXY0XtWhCyfq7guwR7FAWU-XB5KrZlZrEmZ0FpCDD8SFdIPVsogRqXIGnEjr-AH5hk5qakahsOnFPLmxQyGYaQNUWZQl3NizeNaNexoDwAcked3cuo2zarpA1D5dCaGFRnFwxRp0kVrhh9k7qZfx_zKS4rwzGSRVWugJWE5W6BG-EaOh4TcON3DMqY2Uhv1QMOSKpFznNQu8nQpdEtOitgeoWfTQW6-ujyQ2DFbQTkmBWmgAaei86727aCiZ8BoAYhqAemvhvYBwDSCAUIgGEQAQ%2526num%253D1%2526sig%253DAOD64_2iB8lxbx7UPZnET2NQb8CsO8DLhg%2526client%253Dca-pub-9305670210579551%2526adurl%253D/kvismob=2/fv=23/aolexp=0/tags=1/dcprice=WB_GIAAMfFAKaYBTAAICP8t6SD_GQEGkBinP8A/logignored=0/rip=ChRqcjYxMDAxNDM1NjIyMzE4MDA0ORIlQVM0MTA2ODgxNTExYmI2MGY0ODdiODlkYjNmZjAwMzY4ZjA1NRgHIgsxNjgyMTM1NDI3NyoAMhZ3d3cucGF5ZXR0ZWZvcndhcmQuY29tOLWIlAFAT0gAfQa5izudAQa5izulAUgxLD-tARalOTvdARalOTvoAQHyAQViZWxvd_0BBrmLO7ACJr0CAACAP8UCAMoCByAsZmFsc2XSAgcgLGZhbHNl6gIHcHJpbWFyeQ/rc=7F1D63DB3F034007037A428950D64835/bci=0/bidid=WB%252FGIAAMfFAKaYBTiAICPw%253D%253D/pid=1003/dref= frame end 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
