In my case, it meant being able to send real-time updates to family and friends while we were in the hospital waiting for the arrival of my second daughter. Just because Apple’s iMessage servers are asleep at the helm it doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your next pub crawl. There you go-two ways to beat iMessage down time. That menu will have the option “Send as Text Message.” Tap it.Long-tap the message that’s failed until a contextual menu pops up.The caveat is that an iMessage needs to have failed for the option to send an SMS to appear. If the iMessage never shows a Delivered or Read message, and it’s still blue, then you may have been blocked but not always. You can also try to check if your number has been blocked by sending the person a message. If iMessage is failing, you can manually resend your text messages as an SMS message. Method 2: Sending Text or iMessage to the iPhone Number to Check for Block. Manually Select An iMessage To Send An SMS Message If you’re a little shy about that happening automagically, you can manually send an iMessage as an SMS on a case by case basis. Your iPhone will now automatically send an SMS message when it can’t deliver an iMessage, but be forewarned: Normal text messaging charges will apply when that happens. Scroll to Messages preferences and tap it.This feature is disabled by default in iOS 7, so you need to manually enable the “Auto Send SMS” feature. You can set up iOS to automatically send SMS messages when iMessages aren’t being delivered. In those instances, you can either not send messages at all, or you can make a few quick tweaks to iOS that will let you send traditional SMS messages when iMessage is down. Sadly, while we know that, Apple seems to forget from time to time and iMessage decides to crash and burn. We know everyone on the planet owns an iPhone (or so it seems), so iMessage-indicated by the blue bubbles we all know and love-is the text messaging protocol of choice.
