Yikes, you should definitely change that setting that causes it to send an SMS if iMessage is not available
they were blue and once i left the campus and got on 3G they were green. like as in the ones i already sent, not the ones i sent once i left the wifi

If you were indeed sending SMS's overseas is there anyway you can retroactively amend your plan to give you petter pricing rather than what you currently have?
sry again ...
i sent "iMessages" over wifi at campus
i left the campus
went on 3G
now those "iMessages" were suddenly green instead of blue
my friend was like "lol did u realize u sent me text"

maybe your provider will have a kind heart.
about 10 years ago i was at the beach near pensacola florida and was using my cell phone on the balcony overlooking the gulf.
evidently i was hitting a tower on an oil rig or something in international waters instead of going through the concrete 10 story structure i was in.
that week i was on the phone for close to 15 hours, and almost every minute of it rang up as an international call at $4/minute.
however, a call to my provider straightened it all out.

If an iMessage is unable to deliver, it then sends it as an SMS. Under your messages turn off "send as sms" to prevent this from happening in the future.
That actually makes perfect sense. There is a pretty long delay before it converts it to an SMS.

essentially. it uses a few bytes of data which will count against your plan... but you can send thousands and thousands and thousands of texts before it adds up at all.
