OP here. The problem I had was actually more referring to the fact that Apple does not offer fine grained control over how messages are delivered or sent on a per device basis. I can’t easily say, for instance, that I want outgoing messages on all my non phone devices (Mac, iPad, etc) to use iMessage but inbound messages sent from phones should be received via SMS. I also can’t say that I want all messages from certain users to be received via SMS (like my wife, who I should always want to receive on my phone so I can respond quickly).
