Nope. Phone numbers also receive iMessages just fine.
- dr3wster 15y agoYes, that's how it works with the rest of my contacts, but for this one for some reason she had an exclusive SMS contact and a separate iMessage contact. The iMessage contact was associated with an email address and SMS contact was associated with a phone number.
- ddagradi 15y agoAh. That's her configuration choice then.
- jgeorge 15y agoThat's quite possible (and not a bug) if she has more than one device - iMessage disabled on the phone (which would force phone number messages to be SMS) but the email address turned on for iMessage on another device. I had my iPhone/iPad set this way for a while to allow me to send messages from either device without getting replies back to both devices.
- dr3wster 15y agoThat actually sort of makes sense, although I also have an iPad and used to use it for iMessages occasionally. But no one has had a similar issue with me as a contact (I've checked). Edit: also I've checked with her and she has iMessages enabled on every iDevice she owns.
