iMessage usage records

[CAWjr]

Since iMessage has been implemented, should we start to see the list of text messages on our bills dwindle to nothing? Will iMessages still show up on the wireless bill or not?

And if they are not on the wireless bill, is there a way to find a record of the iMessages sent & received like we used to be able to do on the wireless bill?

1. No it won't affect your text messages as they use your data plan and run thru Apple's servers and not your phone company.

2. My question is why would you care what your usage is? You don't get charged for it, and therefore it doesn't matter how many you send and receive (which is why your phone company tracks them).

I message people for work & it has saved my ass on multiple occasions to show an audit trail of communication. I was hoping that I would be able to still have that trail if needed.

It is the same reason I have message archiving set up on my instant messenger software.
