How do I send a SMS rather than a iMessage message?

I want to send a SMS message to my mothers phone (thats not a iPhone) from my iPhone. I have my mothers e-mail and Phone number in my contacts for her. So I hit messages and select my mothers name and then type my message. Tap send, then it says delivered. Everything hunkie doorie, au contraire. The message is sent to my mothers iPod not her phone. I still what to keep the e-mail so I can face time her iPod but I still want to text her on her phone. How can I send a message as a SMS rarther than a iMessage message?
Thanks.

You might try removing your mother's email address from her contact info on your phone. If that works you could set up a different contact (misspelled or somehow different) for her email to use with facetime. I used to do this all the time to more efficiently separate home/work/cell numbers. This might be a sloppy work around, but it might work until there are different options in the settings. This is just an idea. I really have no clue if it will work. Good luck.

    Turn Group Messaging (instructions in lin that follows) off and send the message to multiple recipients. The result may be dependent on your carrier. If manually keying in numbers rather than using contacts, use the return key after each number. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760

    how do i delete a letter rather than backspace

    If you  touch the end of the word, you get a magnified "bubble" that you can drag to the right edge of the character you want to replace, then one backspace deletes it and you type the correction. For straight typing ,it's easier just to use the delete key, but I sometimes use the bubble method when typing Latin, because I must enter a lot of long vowel signs that are a pain to retype.

    I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
    Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data?  Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
    Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text.  Does your husband receive your imessage as a text?

    In messages next to where you would normally enter text you'll see a mic button. Press and hold the button to record your message. When done let go and a control circle will appear with a x to delete the recording, a play button to check your message, and upward arrow to send the message.

    I just upgraded to iphone 5 and now imessage don't work. it sends as sms. i've checked imessages is on in settings.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    It might also be a good idea to contact Square for assistance.

  • How do I send videos from my iPad on I messages to my phone

    I want to know how do I send Videos or texts from the Imessages to a cellular device

    If the device you are sending to is an iOS 5 device with I message turned on, simply find the address in your address book and select  send message.   The pad will flip to the I message screen. Either type in your message, or touch the camera.  It will ask if you want a new picture, or an existing picture.  Your choice.
