iMessage to Pakistan
I need to text a friend who is visiting Pakistan. Is iMessage free Internationally and if not, how much does it cost?

Hi IcedCoffee_Corgi_Queen,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! iMessaging uses data rather than standard text plans, so you would need a network connection in order to send and receive iMessages.
iMessages are texts, photos, or videos that you send to another iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi or cellular-data networks.
More information can be found here: What is the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS?
If you are traveling internationally and using data from your cellular provider to send/receive iMessages, there may be a cost associated with your cellular data plan. In this case, we recommend contacting your carrier for more information.
Hope that helps!
