    Ah, yeah right, the US is still stuck in the 00s with that (and payment methods).

    But iMessage doesn’t work on Android and by default the message will just fail if they have an Android phone and you use iMessage.

      Really? Mine defaults to SMS if they don’t receive it as an iMessage message. I can’t recall it ever failing, only a long while back I would get a failure that prompts me to send as SMS - and I’d do it. It’s automatic now.

        Not sure how long iMessage has existed, but it never properly worked for me on any iPhone, and neither for my partner. I also helped others change the settings to just default to SMS. By default it doesn’t show that you need to send a SMS, and it definitely doesn’t retry it, at least not in NL.

      That is interesting. In Europe it just switches to text message automatically when sending to people with android.

          iMessage will use SMS for 2 person conversations with Android, MMS for groups (and if your carrier disabled MMS it doesn’t work IIRC)
