texting between iPhones

[pellaz]

christmas gifted my partner with a craigslist iphone4, i put ios5 on it. it took a couple of texts between us but the text screen outline color went from green to blue. dont know how they detect it but:

blue is using iMessage and is free between apple products
green is using your providers SMS and will cost you

If I ever get an Iphone or one of those silly products that bit of knowledge will come in handy. Thanks!

iMessage differs from SMS in the sense that iMessages are unlimited and use your wifi or 3g connection to send a message and is not restricted to iPhones with the ios5, you can also use iMessage with with an iPod Touch and iPad.

My iPhone has become my mobile office, I have a small bluetooth keyboard so I can create rosters on the run, create documents, store reminders which all sync with iCloud and are ready when I get home or get to work. It also makes it so easy to keep in contact with my staff, other store managers, and our regional manager.
