iMessage and your carrier

[scaredpoet]

I'm curious. PM me the info you think you have. My twitter name is not my real name and I don't have a facebook page.

I didn't see a Facebook page, but apparently you have a penchant for online poker, or did at some point recently.

We're talking iMessages here, not regular SMS messages.

you don't need a warrant to get your own iMessages from Apple either

if you're going to admit you're cheating, at least do it from a username that isn't so easily searchable on google. Your twitter is the first link.

If I can find it, so can she. I've also found out where you live from the tweets on your timeline and with an easy google search of your name, I found your facebook profile. Gotta tighten it up

edit - also the street you live on. the internet is scary

Stop being creepy!

Whatever we all wanted to after reading his post.

Yes and no. It doesn't leave the same trail as text messages, but any Mac/ipad/iphone/ipod logged in to the same iCloud account will save a copy of the iMessages sent and received. So then you have to go and manually delete your iMessage history from all your devices.

This isn't completely accurate. I log into our iCloud in the family iPad but I don't have iMessage forwarding to it because I have no need to. Same goes for FaceTime, calendar, mail, etc. one can choose to have some, all, or none of those services syncing with their idevices.

iMessage is data only. Even though you can send to another phone number, Apple's servers know that the other end receiving that data is another iDevice, unless of course you disable iMessage, then it goes through as a text message, and I say iDevice, because I iMessage from my iPad all the time using my phone number and the person on the other end never knows it. You can iMessage from an iPad, iPhone, iPod, and they use data and the data is encrypted through Apple's servers. The feds are pissed because they have to get a warrant to view the data and even if they get a warrant, from what I read online, there can be a 4 to 6 month waiting period.

Anyways, nothing to worry about, an iMessage is strictly encrypted data, sort of like an iVPN so to speak lol.

When my wife been sending group messages in which was 9 iPhones and 2 droids Verizon counted every one message as 11 of them and l found all this when I checked detaied billing on their website because they started to send me warnings about. It did not list info between two iPhones but had all info in group messaging. That single thing forced me to abandon unlimited data on my wives phone and switch to share every thing.
