I think maybe last time, I clicked on a previous thread using her email address, which works with imessage, but doesn't make sense to AT&T. If my son wants to send a picture message, which you say requires data, from France, can he turn on "cellular data" leaving "data roaming" off? I know having "data roaming" off will generally prevent data charges in France, but will it allow picture texting? Or will "data roaming" have to be on (scary)? Thanks!
"Data roaming" off is basically the same as "cellular data" off when overseas. He'll have to have both on to send a picture but he also needs to make sure he turns iMessage off. Otherwise, the iPhone will send via iMessage which does not count against the text package but does count as data.
