What happens if someone turns off their iMessage?
Turning off the iMessage slider on one device will still allow iMessages to be received on the other device. Even with the iMessage slider turned off, your phone number is still associated with your Apple ID. Therefore, when other iPhone users send a message to you, it is sent as an iMessage to your Apple ID.
Do pictures sent over iMessage cost?
If you use WiFi, there’s no cost, but if you use your cellphone’s data, it’s deducted from your data plan. Sending pictures or videos over iMessage can use a lot of data very quickly. iMessage is located in the default messages app on your iPhone. (This is true if just one person in a group message is on Android too.)

How can I send pictures from my iPhone without using data?
iPhone – If connected to WiFi, group text and picture/video messages can only be sent to other Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.) using iMessage. If you do not have cellular data (and are not connected to WiFi) and have iMessage turned on, normal text messages will not be able to send or receive.
Does iMessage go through when phone is off?
If the recipient’s phone is off, iMessage will not say delivered to the sender until the phone is powered back on. iMessage will only go through and says delivered if the recipient has other Apple devices with iMessage enabled.
