Why are my texts on the Iphone blue sometimes and green other times? Do they mean something different? Or is Siri just on crack or something

if its blue, the person you are texting also has an iPhone 4 or 4s and it doesn't count against your total texts for the month

Blue means they are 'imessages'. Which means they aren't a text they go over the internet. Only works for other iPhone users
