Blue and Green Text Messages
When different iPhone users have iMessage turn on how come some user's messages come in Green? I thought if both users had iMessage turned on the messages would be Blue!
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
Great, thanks for your help!

Blue = Free, using iMessage.
Green = Costs money, using SMS.
So if one of two iPhone users is sending Green text messages then one of their settings doesn't have iMessage turned on?
Yep. Either that or they don't have a data connection, either WiFi or cellular data.
You're welcome.
Why would it switch in mid 'conversation' back and forth? iPhone to iPhone?

Because on one side or another, the data connection is dropping out, if only briefly.
