Prefix the Mexico number with +52 (include the “+”)

Can iMessages be sent internationally for free? I was wondering if an iPhone in the US could send an iMessage (non-SMS/MMS) to another user's iPhone in another country (eg. Europe, South America, Australia) for free, even if one person has a US phone number and another person as a foreign phone number? In RCS messaging on Android phones, I don't think there is that capability or if there is it may incur a charge depending on the carrier.

iMessage to a person in a different country Hi, would you let me know how to use iMessage with someone in a different country? Do I need to use a country code to use iMessage and drop "0" just like we make a phone call? (iMessage to Japanese iPhone). Just like Facetime, it is free? I experienced in the past that iMessage doesn't go through even though I was able to use Facetime....is it something to do with a country code?
