I was trying to iMessage a contact and the message would Not send to a contact. Then a bubble popped up from above the message area saying, "Switch for iMessage to SMS" so I clicked SMS so it could send and now I do not know how to change back to iMessage on this contact. All other iMessage contacts work fine! I've looked in all my messaging setting to try and fix it but nothing seems to work
iPhone 4, iOS 5
Ok i had to sign in just to reply to this post since i felt bad cuz i spend alot of time looking for the same answer. Anyway this worked for me and i tested it one again before writing.
I had similar situation where i couldnt imessage my girlfriend but that message being important i didnot care just send it as text.
Next thing i know my phone started sending all msgs as text and not imessage.
To cut long story short the way you can go back from text to imessage is go open your conversation with that person, scroll all the way up in the conversatiion, click facetime and hangup (you do not have to facetime with the person its like a sec and hangup before they get an invite) this way your iphone tries to facetime and understands that the other user is an iphone user and changes from text message to imessage. Works for me let me know if it does for you tooo.
All I had to do is to take a picture with the camera icon on the contact's page and send it....fixed!
Thanks.
Thanks. It really worked.

TThanks .. i just deleted them and it was back to
imessage. wasnt able to place a dot nonetheless
I recently had this problem and tried resetting networks and all of that but the simplest way to do it a erase from recent , delete their contact and add them again
I had that problem about five minutes ago, all you need to do it delete the chat with that person and then remake it again. Then it appears back to iMessage.
Go to face time then silect your contact number then send a mass
That didn't work for me
This worked! Thanks
(Sorry For The Messed Up Typos)
This worked for me! Thank you!
All I had to do was send an emoji and it went back
How can you switch between text message and iMessage on a specific contact?
