In answers to When does Messages message via iMessage vs. SMS? I learned that if a contact is set up such that they have received iMessages from me, there still may be a way to force a new message I'm composing to go via SMS. I might want to do this if I suspect they are not connected to the internet but I need them to receive the current message quickly.

Question: How can I ensure or force a message I'm composing to go via SMS on my iPhone 6 in iOS 12?

  • I'm just looking for a way to do this, not an explanation why I shouldn't want to, thanks! – uhoh Nov 23 '19 at 09:45
  • Even with the original question not having an answer this still is a duplicate. – nohillside Nov 23 '19 at 10:03
  • @nohillside since mine is more specific and up to date, why not close that one instead? – uhoh Nov 23 '19 at 10:33
  • It doesn‘t really matter. The other Q already has some comments indicating that it can‘t be done. AFAIK this is still the case but am curios whether Nimesh can provide a solution. – nohillside Nov 23 '19 at 10:41
  • @nohillside okay I'll keep an eye on that (I saw your comment to Nimesh). The way iOS evolves, three year old information, and in comments no less may not really apply today. – uhoh Nov 23 '19 at 10:46

    I answered you on the main thread - what I write there applies to iOS 12 and all devices. – bmike Nov 23 '19 at 12:35
  • I've voted to re-open; the 2nd half of this answer exactly answers this question and in a much better way than answers to the current dupe do. – uhoh Nov 24 '19 at 14:47
