Less than 700 texts?! I send 7,000 on a low month! I hit 16,000 in June. I literally did more than 1,000 in a day a few times. How can you only do like 700 texts?!

Now, drive (or take a train, Euro) 500 miles north. How much does it cost to text now? Now train 500 miles west from there. How much does it cost now? And 500 miles back south? Now how much? 500 miles back east and you're back home. Something tells me that while I've been still paying that same (admittedly high) rate on my 2000 mile trip around the USA, you've been paying something quite higher on your road trip.
See how these things work? Nothing's free.
I can't imagine the riot if my mobile company tried to tell me I had to stay in an area the size of tiny Spain or I'd have to pay roaming fees.

Will they integrate iMessage more seamlessly into the phone function? Why not have an onscreen button to compose texts, or simply speak your message and Siri takes over?
Clean, efficient speech-to-text-to-speech is the way to go.
You know you can do this right? I've had Siri read me an SMS then compose and send a reply using nothing but voice and the included headphones.
I purposefully don't use iMessage. Data is the primary bottleneck. No penalty to receive an SMS but every received iMessage would charge me data. I get unlimited free text and picture messages on my plan. SMS's get delivered even if this recipient doesn't have an active data connection and there is only one local carrier that doesn't struggle with bandwidth.

Amazing, indeed: You can drive 500 miles north of Barcelona Spain. But if you try to drive (or take a train) 500 miles west of that point, you're going to get very wet.
NO more text, No more Minutes. Its all about DATA. As a matter of fact they are earning much more on selling data package price plan then Phone min and SMS.

In my head I was saying east... even thinking Russia. But the fingers didn't obey.

How do you do up to 16000 text in a month, 7000 is higher than most, 3000 is upper average, 2000 is believeable yet 1000 is just a few above average yet 700 average, 500 not yet average 300 is what needs to be average, 100 is just a busy month for someone who doesn't text and less than 30 is other people sending text.
Yet these including all (messaging services) my average lifespan 0.00000000000001 my friends about 10 close friends 2, so this really excludes us yet its ahead.
So y'all really don't have life's at 16000 (100s a day) however even at 3000 (100 a day is high) ,700 is probably since not counting iMessage or other services so Probably a little more than1000 so it's in the 30s a day which at least have life's. and 300a a month which makes sense is 10 a day which is the only needed. With that it want charge to phone bill that much both ways. I still will probably be in average in January. But what about actual calls.

This ability is something you shouldn't advertise. Not only is its truthfulness highly questionable, even if you are able to accomplish half that amount you really have need of face-to-face social skills.
There is a big issue with imessage which needs resolving. Once Apple have established your contact has imessage your iphone will send an imessage if you are in a data zone. If they are not, say for example roaming and have data off then they don't get the message until back in a data zone. I discovered this when a friend was away (didn't know he was) and he didn't get my messages until he returned to the UK. Hard one to fix too!
I like iMessage - at least it keeps trying to send a message if it can't get through ( I think ).
Now, standard SMS on an iPhone has one major flaw in my opinion - unlike all other dumb phones ( and even my sh1tty Barcelona Android 2.2 work phone ) it does not keep trying to send the message if it fails first time due to lack of signal - the others all retry until it's sent.
I live in an area of bad signal and sometimes even with 1 bar the standard SMS may not send from the iphone, but unless you leave the Message app open you don't know it didn't go!
I think this is pretty rubbish for a 'smart' phone.

For me, Messages seems to fall back to SMS if there isn't a detected data route to the recipient.

Really? I get an exclamation mark on my messages app if my regular text doesn't go through...

Here in the USA, the cost of many, many things is exploitative. AT&T’s messaging plans are among the most ludicrously inflated forms of extortion.

It makes the Apple iOS Maps app seem a thing of sublime beauty, accuracy, and competence by comparison.

Apparently the writers have chosen to implement the use of Star Wars dialect in their headlines, not that I blame them.

Episode Seven will suck, do you think?
