Your friends will still receive your texts in the same messaging app they receive "iMessages". Just will be green bubbles instead of blue and you won't see the flashing ellipticals letting you know they're typing.
But we already went over the fact that pretty much all plans have unlimited talk and text now

No kidding. I was answering a question. Move on.

I really would love to get the Nexus 6, but all of my friends have iOS and use iMessage all the time. I'm worried that either my texting bill is going to get really high, or their texting bill is going to rise. Any thoughts? Is iMessage worth buying an iPhone over an Android - what I really want?

If your friends with iOS devices simply go into their message settings [SETTINGS>MESSAGE>iMESSAGE] and select SEND AS SMS they can use iMessage for any of their contacts and their recipients using Androids will get whatever they send. That change makes iMessage a non-issue for everyone both iPhone and Android users. This setting also makes it much easier to deal with a lost iPhone should that ever happen.
Thanks for the tip.....great info.
The big advantage of iMessage is that when wi-fi is available that message goes through Apple servers instead of the phone carrier servers. Those people with a limit on monthly text messages don't have their iMessages count against their plan.
