To send a picture message, or a video message, you will need to sign up for the FreedomPop MMS and Group Messaging service.

iMessage is the built in texting service that Apple provides on all of its iPhone and iPad devices. This means as long as a data connection is available you can send a text from one Apple device to another, no talk / text plan required.
This is helpful because if you run out of texts messages in your FreedomPop plan or simply want to preserve your text messages, you will be able to send an iMessage to another iPhone or iPad owner.
First, make sure iMessage is enabled. Go to your Settings application and scroll down until you see Messages. Tap on it.
Next to the iMessage option, use the toggle buttons to enable the feature.
Now send your message. Use the native Messages application (green text bubble) instead of the FreedomPop Messaging application to send your message.
Tap the paper and pencil icon in the top right corner of the screen to start a new message.
Then, type the number or iCloud email address you want to reach in the ‘To:’ box at the top of the screen.
Finally, type your message in the text box towards the bottom of the screen and press the arrow button to send it.
Because your FreedomPop phone number is not attached to the native Messages application, any iMessages you send will have to come from your email address instead. This will be the email address that is attached to your iCloud account. Click here to learn more about how iMessage works. Don’t have an iCloud account? Click here to learn how to get one.
