iMessages...whats the point? (Longish)
As I understood it iMessages were free. Yet my iMessages were/are being pulled out of my text allotment with VZW.

I'm just wondering if it's another example of VZW nickle & dimeing you.

If you go into imessage settings, there is an option to send message as sms wich uses your text messaging plan, yours is most likley enabled. Disable to use via data services.
