iMessages appear in you messages app. If you're sending a text, the send icon is green. If you're sending an iMessage, the send button is blue. iMessages are sent over wifi or data.
iMessages do use up your data plan if you're not on wifi. A standard 160 character message will use 1-10kb of data. On average, you can send 6000-7000 messages with 1mb of data used. Photos use more.
