How to ALWAYS send SMS instead if iMessage to a specific user.

There is a person I text who can't receive the iMessages I send him but he gets SMS messages okay. How can I automatically send him SMS messages when I text him, but continue to send iMessages to everyone else?


Thanks for any help with this.

Do you know if they are using an iPhone and have tried to disable or re-enable iMessage? Share the steps here to help them Deregister iMessage


Are they able to send iMessages to other users as expected?


Contact Apple Support if you need to look over this further.
