Apple hijacked SMS.
You can't CHOOSE to send SMS.
If your phone is tied to a computer for a shared imessage account, if you're outside with your phone alone (while computer is online) the phone cannot receive text messages. (The sender ios device presumes 'success' in sending the message because it is received by the computer. It does not have the ability to send just sms).
So, i'm all for anything that shakes up messaging and maybe returns some of it to users.
- marvy 3y agoyou can choose; there's an option buried in settings somewhere
- whycome 3y agoBut, there's no ability on a per-message basis. If they have their phone set up with iMessage, I cannot just send them an SMS if they lose their data connection.
- jmkni 3y agoI mean you can literally just set the iMessage toggle to 'Off' on your phone It's not even buried. Settings -> Messages -> iMessage == Off
- whycome 3y agoBut, that party uses imessage for some things. I want to be able to send them an SMS. How would that be done?
- jb1991 3y ago> You can't CHOOSE to send SMS You can turn off iMessage and force sms unless you are referring to something else.
- darknavi 3y agoYou can also press and hold the send button to swap over to SMS.
- whycome 3y agoThis isn't true. That ability is no longer there.
- whycome 3y agoThat's on the receiver party. I'm the sender using an iOS device. I can't CHOOSE to send an SMS if they have iMessage on.
- jb1991 3y agoThat’s entirely incorrect.

- whycome 3y agoThis isn't related to the ability to just send someone an SMS if they're using imessage.
