Jul 2, 2015 7:38 AM in response to Philly_Phanby MacMini2054,That only works for one instance. Not really a solution, more a work-around....

Jul 2, 2015 7:41 AM in response to MacMini2054by Philly_Phan,You are incorrect. If you turn off iMessages, you will not send any iMessages. Period.

Jul 2, 2015 7:41 AM in response to MacMini2054by ChrisJ4203,She needs to remove her number from the iMessage server. Make sure iMessage is turned off on her phone, and she may need to use this link as well. If you can’t get text messages from an iPhone - Apple Support She may need to use the link in the document about Deregistering iMessage. You may also need to remove her contact and add it back to your phone afterwards, and delete any existing conversation you have with her.

Jul 2, 2015 7:45 AM in response to ChrisJ4203by Philly_Phan,Turning off iMessages on her phone won't make any difference. The setting affects sending.
My wife has it turned off and I have it turned on. When she sends a message to me, it goes out SMS. When I send one to her it goes out iMessage.

Jul 2, 2015 7:49 AM in response to Philly_Phanby ChrisJ4203,It will as long as her phone is listed in the iMessage server. If she removes it completely, then your messages to her should go out as SMS.

Jul 2, 2015 7:53 AM in response to MacMini2054by Chris CA,As noted, remove her number from iMessage server.

Also, you need to delete the Message thread to her and start a new one.

Jul 2, 2015 8:02 AM in response to ChrisJ4203by Philly_Phan,Neither one of us deleted anything from the iMessage server. My point was that she stopped sending ALL iMessage messages by the simple act of turning it off in Settings.

Jul 2, 2015 8:04 AM in response to Philly_Phanby ChrisJ4203,Yes, but your phone is still trying to send messages to her as iMessage, and with it turned off, they don't get to her.
-
Jul 2, 2015 8:20 AM in response to ChrisJ4203by Philly_Phan,That is incorrect. My phone sends iMessages to her phone AND her phone receives them.

Jul 2, 2015 10:55 AM in response to Philly_Phanby ChrisJ4203,She receives an iMessage with iMessage turned off? That is not the way it is supposed to work.
