You're talking about invisible implementation details.
My iMessage/FaceTime are set to use an email as the only ID. No one else knows or uses my data-only phone number. Just like they don't know or use my IMEI number.
- sneak 13y agoNo, I'm not - it will default to using that as the outbound ID even on a data-only plan, because iOS doesn't know it's a data-only plan. The fact that you must go and manually change it to your email address for outbound iMessages is the part that's invisible.
- shurcooL 13y agoMy iOS knows because it runs on an data-only device (iPad mini with cellular).
- rosser 13y agoDo you suppose that might be because your iOS knows it's not on a phone?
- shurcooL 13y agoWhat is a "phone"? Is it a device with a rotary dial? Or is a device capable of making voice/video calls. A cellular iPad mini, IMO, is simply a mobile iOS device with a 7.9" screen. It can make/receive calls similarly to the 4" screen iOS device (think FaceTime audio, Skype, VoIP, etc.).
