Are you able to send SMS texts or iMessage Texts?

Messaging with iPhones: iMessage

When you communicate with other iPhones, iPads, or Macs, you can use iMessage for free. iMessage works over Wi-Fi or your cellular data plan and lets you send texts, photos, videos. You can make an iMessage Call.

Regular Calls and SMS to any Phone

To make a regular voice call (not an iMessage call) or send SMS text messages to anyone, you'll need a cellular plan for calls and SMS messaging. This plan is linked to the SIM card in your phone. Regular calls and SMS work on any phone,but depending on your plan, charges might apply.

Here's a quick breakdown:

iMessage (Blue bubbles): Free between Apple devices over Wi-Fi or data, for texts, photos, videos, and voice calls.
SMS (Green bubbles): Uses cellular network (may have charges), for texts only, works with any phone.
Regular Voice Call: Uses cellular network (may have charges), works with any phone.
