To answer this question, let’s first look at a typical text message. When someone sends a text message, they type a message on their phone and hit the send button. At that point, the cellular data service provider (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, or whoever) transfers that message through their network to the recipient.
Depending on your cell phone plan, you could be charged for the text message (if you don’t have an unlimited texting plan or if you exceeded your texting limit for the month). While sending a few text message may not seem significant, a teenager’s appetite for texting can cause charges to add up quickly.
Enter iMessage.
When you send a text message to someone that has an Apple ID, the Messages app automatically recognizes that person’s Apple ID and routes the message through Apple’s servers instead of using the cell phone carrier. This is done automatically and avoids any texting charges from the cell phone carrier. Sending iMessages will still use cellular data when the iPhone is not connected to a Wi-Fi network. Users that approach the monthly limit of their cellular data plan may opt to turn off iMessages. See this article for more information on disabling iMessage.
Since iMessages can be sent using a Wi-Fi network, they can be sent from an iPad, iPod touch, or Mac computer that has no cellular data connection.
