Any beta users currently using I message with a text block in their phone? I have blocked texts on my phone. I refuse to pay $20 for text messaging + $30 for data, when I can go data only. Once the carriers move to the VoLTE standard everything will be data anyway, but they still find a way to shaft us.

I would like to know this as well.

Paying for text messaging is the equivalent to already getting bent over on pricing and then willingly giving the ky to your carrier ;)

Yes iMessage does work with texting blocked

if you want to force it to not send an SMS, if iMessage is not available, then you just toggle that switch.

O man

That lit up my day
