How can I get texts from other iPhones without using iMessage? I do not want to use my data.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.0.2
If you turn off iMessage, texts from other iPhones should come to you via SMS/MMS (i.e., regular texts).
Unfortunately they are not. They are showing up on my iPad when it is connected to wifi later but not on my iPhone. Do I need to turn off iMessage from my iPad as well?
If someone is sending you iMessages to your email address instead of your phone number then they would still go to your iPad if it has iMessage on. The following has some more information that may help: Deregister iMessage: Frequently Asked Questions - Apple Support
