Ok. Cool. But why? I would have to imagine that that ip address is a fixed ip. And why the different port when 80 works anyway and is the standard?
Just curious.
Hostnames should always be preferred over IPs it's a standard practice. Let's say in the future if the provider adds a second IP for load balancing if you use the IP you will not be able to take advantage of it. As for the port I prefer to be with the few and not the many 😊

Text messages sent by the message app on iPhones are free as well when connected to wifi as long as iMessage is turned on in settings.

For my understanding, even if I have a data plan, but if I didn't turn on mobile data service , I couldn't receive picture or sent picture. Since I tried it before, it didn't work.

@Hct398 I suggest you download some app,like WhatsApp ,TextNow or Wechat,it is free sent or receive pic or video.

Hi, i can suggest you install a messaging app like WhatsApp or Hangouts. These apps will work on Wifi or a Data connection. You can purchase add-on data , and turn it on for the odd time you need it ($10/200mb LTE) and it carries over month to month.
03-17-2019 09:29 AM
Will try that. Thanks

@Hct398Turn on your data then send it, you don't need a data plan but it does need a connection. If it's not working go to Settings --> Messaging and make sure MMS is turned on.
