Abstract
Your iPhone supports text messaging. That’s no surprise. Nearly every cell phone sold today supports text messaging. Even my cheap, prepaid “disposable” cell phone does. What you might not know is that you can also use your iPhone for AIM-style instant messaging and Internet chats as well—unofficially, of course. Apple doesn’t directly support these features. You might have also heard that the iPhone doesn’t support multimedia messaging, the technology that lets you send and receive photos, sound, and formatted text. You actually can send and receive this kind of data with your iPhone—although not the way you expect. In this chapter, you’re about to discover lots of creative ways to chat using your iPhone and work around Apple’s messaging limitations.
