Green bubble is messages you sent via SMS (and so may have been charged by your carrier depending on your cellular plan)

Blue bubble is messages you sent via iMessage.

All incoming messages are grey, regardless of whether they were sent to you via SMS or iMessage.

I don't know of any UK plan that charges.


Must be a couple of decades since I was last charged for SMS

Try sending an image on green.

PAYG plans do.

Don't they almost all work on a "goodybag" model now where you top-up £x for the next month of tens of GB of data, hundreds or unlimited minutes, and unlimited texts? Using "real" balance is uncommon in my experience

Only if one buys such a "goodybag".

My father doesn't and so pays PAYG rates when he uses his. Which probably makes sense for him, given his infrequent use pattern.
