How to charge for iMessage?

iPhone

After activating Facetime and iMessage functions on iPhone 4S, there will be an international text message fee of 1 yuan on the phone bill.

In this regard, China Mobile customer service said that when activating and opening the Facetime and iMessage functions for mobile card iPhone users, they need to send activation text messages to Apple’s servers in the UK, so they will be charged 1 yuan each time.

However, China Mobile will prompt during activation, "Your operator may charge users for text messages that activate iMessage."

If the user turns off the iMessage function after activating it, then You will also need to pay a fee of 1 yuan when reopening. The customer service also reminded that if the system is upgraded, a fee of 1 yuan will be charged.

Unlike China Mobile, China Unicom iPhone users will enjoy free activation and activation of facetime and iMessage functions. If the user repeatedly switches the iMessage function on and off and upgrades the iOS system, China Unicom will not charge any fees.
