[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1680852"] There's nothing you can do about your son other than disown him until he comes to his senses. :) If your friends/family have added their emails/phone numbers to iMessage, you'll see a blue text bubble when you message them (assuming you've done the same, obviously). This means you're sending a message via iMessage. (edit: thought formatting didn't work in iMessage, but further testing based on reply below proved me wrong. Hurrah! Re-learn something new every day! :)) Anyway, regular SMS text messages show up in green text bubbles, so that's how you can tell the difference. The iMessages are sent through Apple's servers (encrypted and unreadable) and do not count against any texting limit you may have on your plan. While Messages (the app) can send either SMS or iMessage (and automatically detects the right format to use), iMessaging only works between Macs/iOS devices. Messages to other platforms goes as an SMS text. [/QUOTE]
