Will messages sent via iMessage use up my text messages?

A lot of people have been asking this question. The simple answer is no.

iMessage messages are not sent via your wireless provider, whether it be Verizon, AT&T, Orange or any other provider. These messages are managed and delivered by Apple, and as such have no impact on your text (SMS) or multimedia (MMS) messaging plans through your provider.

Please note, however, that messages sent via the Messages app on the iPhone to users that are not iOS 5 device owners will count against your monthly SMS / MMS message limits.

What is iMessage?

iMesssage is Apple's new messaging platform / application specifically for iOS 5 users. Similar to traditional SMS text messaging and MMS messaging, users on any device running iOS 5 will be able to send text, picture, and video messages to each other via iMessage.

In short, this brings text and multimedia messaging to the iPad and the iPod Touch -- devices which previously only gained this ability through fairly clumsy third party applications.
