since when? since i talked to tmobile a few days ago [when i was trying to decide whether to get a legit tmobile phone or use an unlocked iphone] and several of their phones do it and they showed me? since i've sent text messages from someone's blackberry connected to their home wifi network in an area with no reception in a 5 mile radius? since i've received text messages from someone on a iphone (at&t) in rural texas (read: no reception)?

so since i obviously knew it could be done and didn't know why i wasn't doing it, i figured i'd ask. today i asked apple while i was at the store buying a case, leaving out the part where i was using tmobile. they said it's completely possible, my problem being that it works with a different app, not the one that came with the phone. so yeah, i'm pretty sure that that's since when everyone else has been sending texts over wifi. and notice i didn't say anything about phone calls because i know that can't be done on the iphone (however it *can* be done on some blackberries).

some people indeed...
