That isn't the case with my iMessage...everyone I text have different color bubbles and so are mine... Some are green, some are blue, some are gray, etc....

Just an FYI... On the iPhone, going into Settings --> Messages and set SMS to No and you will not accidently send any text messages that will cause you to pay charges. After you set that parameter, if you try to send a text message to someone that isn't on iOS5, the message will fail to go and you will see a "1" next to the bubble.

If you want free text messaging, get a free Google Voice phone number and use the Google Voice app to send text messages...free to anyone in the US. There are other advantages to having a Google Voice number too...
