You also can use iMessage to send free messages to Mac users who have installed the app as well as non-iPhone users; however, you must configure iMessage to send texts to non-iPhone users automatically or manually select the SMS option before sending.

Warning
- When using iMessage to send SMS messages to non-iPhone users, your wireless carrier may charge you a fee. Refer to your wireless plan agreement or contract to determine if your account includes free text messages or if you must pay for each SMS you send.
