In order for you to be able to send and receive iMessages on your iPhone, iMessage must be activated.
This will link your phone number to the email address you use for your Apple ID or iCloud account. This allows you to send and receive the “blue text bubbles” while chatting with other iPhone, iPad, and Mac users.
When iMessage is turned on, iMessages are sent over a Wi-Fi connection or over cellular data when a Wi-Fi connection isn’t available.
If iMessage isn’t turned on, you’ll get all messages to your phone as SMS or MMS text messages if that feature is already turned on — which can be nice for those with a monthly data limit.
