iMessages are an Apple only convention that sends text messages to other Apple devices via the email system using email addresses to identify the sender and receiver.

Those quotes imply that texting is exclusively between phone numbers and iMessaging is exclusively between email addresses, and I was trying to point out that I can send iMessages to either a phone number OR an email address from either my MBP or iPhone.

And SMS/MMS texting doesn't enter into the equation in any way shape or form, because cell service is not enabled on my iPhone.

The new Great Equalizer is the SEND button.
