Why does my phone send SMS to other iPhone users?
I recently got the iPhone 5s. Generally, when I'm texting someone else who has an iPhone, the messages go through as iMessages. However, one of my friends who has an iPhone who I talk to a lot always shows up as texts. She says on her phone it is showing up as iMessage. Recently I started communicating via email to a friend in Germany. He suggested we use iMessage because it is simpler. However, when he sent me a message it came through as a text and my message back was also a text. My iMessage is switched on and my "SMS if no imessage available" is off. His as well. He says he has been communicating with other friends in America through iMessage with no problem. I'm getting frustrated. How do I fix this?
Maybe it's just Germany

- Straight Talk iPhone 6S won't send pics to non-apple phone users? My daughter gave me her old Straight Talk Iphone 6S. She unlocked the phone so I could use it with my carrier but then we decided to stay with Straight Talk. I'm unable to send Bitmoji's and photos to non-Iphone users. I can't turn on the MMS feature, it's hidden. Anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?
