iMessage uses data. SMS doesn’t. This is excepted.

A single iMessage should absolutely not be 10MB.

I reset my statistics before I sent that and 100 mb of data was used by messaging services. Ticking up with every message. Obviously it SHOULDN’T be taking up that much space and data is getting over counted or something. Something’s bugging out.

No need to be so contrary. I understand that it doesn’t take 100mb to send that information, something is clearly malfunctioning.

To clarify, I mean I’m sending an iMessage that is only text, not an SMS message. And it’s using way more data than it should be. My messaging services usage in the cellular data section jumps about 10mb each message.

Like not a picture or video or gif or anything. This issue is that sending the word “test” on iMessage ate up 7 mb of my data plan.
