Hi David,Again,
This might be the case but, I don't think Apple is concerned one bit about
peoples texting charges. I mean, why should they care about such a thing as
you mentioned below when in settings/messages you have the option to not have
your message sent as SMS? So essentially, if you get some outrageous bill
because your iMessages were long, and were broken up into 5 texts, it was your
fault.
JMO.
