Sep 17, 2016 12:08 PM in response to salemoldu1911by Brian Kingstone,It seems to be more robust and automatic now and senses when an iMessage isn't going through. Although it was handy, it was a pain to wait to see if the message would go through, then press and hold, and then get repeated reports that the message failed to deliver when you know it had gone through. I've not had a single issue since updating.

Can you provide any specifics of what "robust and automatic" means? I tried texting my sister yesterday who has had an android phone for years and it sent it as an iMessage (and didn't seem to retry as sms within about 15 minutes).
I am about to send my High School senior son across the country on a college tour with an iPhone with no data plan, and I am now worried about not being able to send messages to him (unless he constantly pesters people for their wifi password). This is a serious issue to me.

Sep 20, 2016 10:17 AM in response to vacaoby Brian Kingstone,I say 'robust and automatic' because I've not had any issues at all. iMessages have been sent as text messages without fail so far. I'm sorry if your experience after the update has been different.

Sep 27, 2016 4:02 AM in response to Brian Kingstoneby S.Boman,If I try to iMessage someone with no data traffic left, regular old SMS was always the backup plan. This "robust and automatic sense" definitely does not work between iPhones in my house fleet of i-devices.

Sep 28, 2016 1:04 PM in response to Brian Kingstoneby vacao,Since I posted this, for some reason, the "send as text message" option has re-emerged as an option for texts to my son. So perhaps "robust and automatic" just means it takes a little usage analysis before it'll give you the option of sending as a text? Not sure, but I'm glad its back for me in any case.
