I am trying to figure this out too. I think it has to do with whether or not the iphone has MMS Messaging set to on or not. The "Send as SMS" is used when an Internet connection isn't available when MMS is enabled (set to ON). Is your iphone number listed in the "You can be reached by iMessage at:" section on your iphone? There is also a list of email addresses associated with your Apple ID listed.


This is terribly confusing!
