iMessage sending as SMS and calls don't go through, but I can still see their shared location update?

Why is it that my iMessages to another iPhone are sending as SMS (green), and my calls go straight to voicemail, but occasionally and frequently, their shared "find my" location will update? What does this mean? Does this mean they don't have service, but occasionally it connects?

imessage on iphone uses sms to one specific iphone I have a situation where the iMessage traffic between iPhone and another iPhone in the same house, on the same Wi-Fi only uses SMS. I can text this phone from my iPad and it uses iMessage/IP but for this specific phone it’s all SMS. I’ve checked the iMessage settings in both phones and iMessage is enabled. I ran a test and sent a test from my iPad, immediately followed by my iPhone and the iPad used IMessage protocol and the phone used SMS. All involved units are on the same WiFi here in the house. Cellular data is on as well for the phones. This suddenly started happening around mid day yesterday. The phones are on the latest release of iOS, which is 15.4 but that happened several days ago. Has anyone experienced this? I am thinking of deleting the message history and the contact entries on both phones and re-creating them to see if that solves the problem but I hate to lose the message history.

Not recieving SMS without an internet connection I have an iPhone 12, as well as a cellular provider with unlimited SMS talk/text. I have both iMessages and SMS messages turned on in my device settings, with Send & Receive set to my phone number. I'm in a group chat that has someone with a android device, so from my understanding everything in that group chat is SMS. Everything sent is a green message bubble, so as far as I know imessage and internet connection shouldn't factor in at all. The issue is, I only receive texts from that group chat when I do have an internet connection, and specifically only when connected to data, wifi is inconsistent. If I have data off, I stop receiving SMS messages. Why is that? How do I fix it? (If possible I'd like a fix without having to disable iMessage entirely, but if it's the only way oh well.) Additional information that might be relevant: When I have no internet, I can still send SMS messages and they send normally, I just don't receive anything. I found a similar issue which had a response claiming that iphones default to imessage when wifi is off, but that made no sense to me.

Message not appearing on all devices. I have 3 iPads and an iPhone. One of my iPads (my newest one) does not get text messages from one user. I have a service, that sends me a text, it appears on all the other devices. If I search for it on the ipad it doesn’t work on, it finds old messages from that service. These old messages were from before I got the ipad. I have power cycled, and made sure they are using the same user account. The rest of the text/iMessages appear across all devices.

Several reasons for the behavior that you have mentioned. Below are a few:

The other person may have accidentally blocked your number.
The other person’s phone may be in and out of cell service.
The other person may have turned the phone OFF and then occasionally ON.
