ON IPHONE, How do i send a text a email address as a SMS and not MMS?

On my basic phone, I can text a email address without it being MMS. Now on my iPhone, it only can text email addresses using MMS. This requires data. Does apple IPHONES not know how to text a email address? I don't want to use data to text email address? I might as well just use email.

I know on my phone if you send a text to another iPhone user, it's transmitted via iMessage and doesn't consume your texting quota. Note, if you have an iPhone the blue text messages are iMessages and the green are regular texts.

This makes no sense at all.

How would this happen? My husband sent me a text but it ended up being emailed to someone who had just emailed me. She was not impressed and either was I that this would happen. How is this possible?

  • Received an text from unknown email address? I got a text from someone's gmail account to my iPhone over iMessage, and I have NO idea who it is. They sent me a text saying "Hey". I don't recognize the email and I don't know if I should respond to them. It kind of freaks me out because they have my number and I don't know how they got it.
  • Is MMS messaging free with unlimited SMS text messaging with a T-Mobile iPhone? I have unlimited texting(SMS) and I just recently turned on my picture text messages (MMS) settings for my iPhone. I was wondering if I have to pay for MMS for every incoming or outcoming pic, or does it count as unlimited texting too? I pay for my internet too, if that helps with anything: P
  • Iphone SMS and MMS recovery in Chronological order with recipient/sender details specified? I'm looking for software that will allow me to recover deleted data from my iphone, specifically SMS and MMS messages to a particular contact. I've tried UltData but the data I've recovered isn't in order of date/time and also doesn't differentiate between sender and recipient, it's just a list of all the correspondence, is there any program out there that can recover the data I need in the order I need it in?
  • If I send a text using my email address to a fellow iPhone user will it always show delivered? Even if blocked? If you're phone number is blocked, I know messages won't show delivered. But if your email isn't known to contact, and you send text using your email, will it be delivered? I did and the blue bubble shows with delivered status. But if I send a regular text the blue changes to green, sent as text. I know my number is blocked. But he doesn't have my email.
