1. You need to set your iMessage to send as SMS/MMS for each non-Apple contact manually.
2. Carriers have nothing to do with iMessage as all iMessages use data and go through Apple's servers.
1. Not necessary, simply go into the iPhone's Settings - Messages and enable "send as SMS", and it will send an SMS when iMessage is not possible (carrier rates may apply).
2. Also via WiFi. I never pay for iMessages because I always use WiFi to send, and I don't have data on my pre-paid phone plan. If I'm not connected to WiFi, then an incoming iMessage may reach me as an SMS and I'm charged for that text because I don't have any "free" texts as part of my very inexpensive pre-paid plan. If you have free texting, then there are no charges.

@Joaner : Did you try the settings in the iPhone as suggested in my post above yours?
