Been meaning to ask for ages, since updating to new software some text messages have green, some have a blue background. I send a text, it says 'delivered' then a few mins later I hear the woosh sound as its being sent! but I already had a delivered message.

Anyone know/understand what this is all about?
 
iMessage
Basically if you're sending a message to another iPhone, it will send it across the internet as a message. This will not remove a text from your text allowance. These show up as blue.
If you're sending a normal text it will show up as green.
The iPhone automatically detects if it's sending to another iPhone :)

thanks, HOWEVER, it is to another iPhone and its blue to start, minutes later theres that woosh noise and it turns green?
 
I am sending to another iPhone, is it if they are not on wifi it sends as normal text? after waiting a good few mins though bah!
 
It's a bit of a pain, they need a setting so that you can stop the sending of a message if it can't be delivered by iMessage. I send a lot of texts to people in America and sometimes when they don't have wifi they go as a normal text message and I get a bit more of a hit on my phone bill.

You can turn it off in settings.
 
Just got myself a Whey aye Phone and have a question.....

If I sent a txt with old phone and it failed to send it would continue to try to send it until it eventually did go but with the Aye Phone if it doesn't go straight away it sits and doesn't go at all.

Can I change it so that it continues to try to send like my old brick phone did?

No but you can change the settings to get a notification I believe.
