Turn on iMessage on iPhone and iPad
If you do not have an SMS flat, you can save a lot of money by using iMessage. The amount of data required is much cheaper than the cost of an SMS.
- Open the "Settings" app on your Apple mobile device.
- Scroll down and select the menu item "Messages".
- Activate the "iMessage" option at the top. After a few seconds, you will be notified that activation may incur costs. If you incur these, the maximum is the cost of an SMS.
- iMessage is now activated. Messages sent via iMessage appear in the "Messages" app in blue instead of green.
