Reply to comment by mcbizco in iMessage using way too much data by mcbizco

Wait, your original post says 100mb per message, now you said 10mb per message. Which is it?

Either way it’s way too much - and this is for a plain text only message?

a week ago, I noticed it was eating up 100 mb per message so I turned off iMessage, updated my phone to the latest iOS release and waited for my data plan to roll over to the next period (because this bug ate up most of it). Yesterday I tested it again and it’s now eating 10mb per message, which is better, but still wayyyyy too much data.

And yeah, just plain text. The word “Test” as an iMessage caused a consumption of 7mb of “messaging services” data. Something definitely wrong.
