How to automatically switch from iMessage to Text Message for one recipient?
I'm working on a group project with someone. I had communicated with him in the past via iMessage. I've sent him numerous texts in the past couple of days and it sends as an iMessage. He hasn't been responding, which was unlike him. He finally texted me today (the project is due tomorrow) and said "if you've been texting me about the project, I don't think I've received them. I got a new phone and iMessage no longer works on my phone." He must have gotten something other than an iPhone.
I replied to him and it still sent it as a blue iMessage, said delivered and everything. I held down the message and said "send as text", which worked, but is there a way to get my phone to automatically do that for him like it does for my other friends without iPhones?
Added (1). Update: I just sent him another message and now my phone automatically sent it as a text. It must have realized that after switching the first two or something? Either way, it's working now.
IMessage on his old iPhone must have still be turned on. Tell HIM (it should be HIS old iPhone NOT your iPhone) to turn it off by going to
Settings > Messages > then turn off iMessage
- Will my message be delivered if sent as text message on iphone? My friend said that she was having phone problems earlier today. My message was being sent as an imessage, but I guess she wasn't receiving everyone of them, just getting the notifications that they were sent to her but she couldn't read them. I then responded to her, but it was sent as a text message this time and i have gotten no response. I'm not as much concerned about her responding or not, I just want to know if she will receive the message.
- What does this mean: Free Msg: Receiver unable to receive message - Message Blocking is active mean on iPhone's iMessage? I tried sending my friend a text and it replied with this. We haven't gotten into any fights and we hung out for hours recently. Has she blocked me?
- 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?
- Iphone imessage sent as a text message? When I sent someone with an iphone an imessage it was sent as a text message. Is there any chance they will not receive the message?
