| Nov 3, 2014 at 21:52 | comment | added | lnjuanj | In my case, I always receive messages on both. So the thing is: why wouldn't you have access to Internet while you have to SMS? That is something Apple didn't consider. I hadn't imagined about that problem till I read your question. Some kind of a timeout on your Mac to auto-log out from Messages could be the way to go. Tell me if you'd like something more detailed. | |

| Oct 29, 2014 at 4:56 | comment | added | tubedogg | Based on your description, the system is worked as designed. The iMessage is considered delivered when it reaches one of your logged-in machines, therefore it does not fallback to SMS, because it was delivered successfully. It seems like it would introduce needless complexity if there was an option for "if it doesn't reach this particular device, consider it failed and re-send as SMS". | |

| Oct 28, 2014 at 23:21 | comment | added | Tetsujin | @Buscar웃 I need to be afk for the night now, but could I throw this to chat for if you have anything further - this issue & others relating to it, have been the bane of my life recently... iMsg vanishing into the ether at the slightest provocation, both send & rec | |

| Oct 28, 2014 at 23:14 | comment | added | Ruskes | I did some reading, so do you have the "You can be reached by iMessages under this Phone number? | |
| Oct 28, 2014 at 23:10 | comment | added | Tetsujin | I'd like for Apple to have figured out it was a reasonable requirement... but if you have a volunteer to write a script [or even actually point me in the right direction & I'll have a go myself]... ;-)) | |
| Oct 28, 2014 at 23:06 | comment | added | Ruskes | so you would like for someone to write you a script that does that ? | |
| Oct 28, 2014 at 22:37 | comment | added | Tetsujin | DND doesn't know when I'm not in the house, but the wifi does - can't see the phone, I'm out. Cannot see any way to tether those 2 rather obvious pieces of information. | |
