Sending SMS messages (green bubble) requires a cellular connection, and text message service from your phone company (carrier). You might want to contact them if you are having problems with SMS messages going through.

Sending iMessages (blue bubble) requires an Internet connection, so if you send those when you don't have one, they will eventually time out and you may see "Not delivered."
