Picture messaging: iMessage vs. regular texting

I know that if you turn off your cell data, you can't receive pictures through text messaging. Does anyone know if it's possible to still send and receive pics using iMessage with the cell data turned off?

With cell data do you mean 3G ? If yes, iMessage will not work without an Internet connection.

It's not available in all countries (as far as I know it's only available in USA).

Oh interesting, yeah I'm in America on AT&T, I haven't used the group messaging yet though.

Have never had the option for group messaging, I have been able to send messages to groups of contacts but I think it does not let the recipients see who else the message is being sent to.
