If I send someone an iMessage but it turns into a txt message because they are on airplane mode with no wifi, but later gets wifi (still on airplane made) will my iMessage go through or will they need to connect to an internet provider to receive my text message? TIA 😊
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16
Hello eric_15,
Just to clarify, it seems like you want to know if an iMessage will be sent with SMS/MMS if Wi-Fi is unavailable, is that correct?
"To use SMS/MMS on an iPhone, you need a text-messaging plan. Contact your wireless carrier for more information. You can also set up your other Apple devices to send and receive messages from any Apple device.
If Wi-Fi is unavailable, iMessages will be sent over cellular data. Cellular data rates might apply."
Please check out this link which explains the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS, and may be helpful: What is the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS?
For more information on sending and receiving messages and the available options, please check out this link, which has some additional information that may help: Send and receive messages on iPhone
Thanks!
