IPhone keeps trying to send an iMessage?

I have an iPhone and I'm trying to send a text to someone who previously had an iPhone but no longer does. If I turn iMessage off, I can't talk to some of my other contacts. So I do not have a SIM card, she doesn't have access to an iPhone, and I can't hit "send as text message" because my iPhone sends the message too fast.

I believe the iPhone should automatically switch to regular text messaging if the other person doesn't have an iPhone, and if you turn off iMessage, that shouldn't stop you from texting your other iPhone friends.
Hope this helps

  • Whatsapp keeps crashing when trying to open a photo? I've been using Whatsapp for months now and never had any trouble. For the past few days when I try to open a photo the application crashes and closes down. I've deleated it from my iphone 3gs and reinstalled it about 5 times now and it still not working. I've got plenty of space left in the memory and I've reset the phone, nothing is working. Any idea's as to what could be wrong?
  • Trying to restore my Iphone 5c through iTunes, but it keeps giving me blue screens on my phone? 'Blue screen of death' thing. I sent it to apple and they told me the problem was with me plugging it up into a computer to charge it, and i plugged it into the socket for 30 mins, like they said and it says plug into itunes to restore it. But after a while it just gives me a blue screen and I can't use the phone if i don't do the full restore thing

  • IPhone can't send iMessage to iPod touch user with iMessage? At random times, whenever I try to iMessage my friend who has just a iPod Touch, where you type in the message will say "Text Message" instead of "iMessage." is there a way to fix this so it will always send as a iMessage instead of Text?
