Which Text Messages Count? (Messages vs. SMS)

i on metered text plan at&t (nation 450 + 200 text message add-on) , works pretty me since i'm not heavy user. however, month there flurry of texts pushed me close limit. noticed not messages showing on at&t account presume these sent via wifi/messages.

know if receiving texts work same way? instance, if sister on wifi , using iphone messages enabled free me (non-sms) too?

presuming above true there way tell (messages vs. sms)? presume not since texts either blue or green theirs gray.

thanks!

you both have on wifi imessage work. if text message blue, imessage. if green, sms/mms. imessages don't count against data or texts either party since sent through data when on wifi.
