| Sep 21, 2016 at 13:33 | comment | added | j.s.com | If you sign out from iMessage then you can send a SMS of course. But if you then sign in a message appears on all your iOS devices and computers telling that you just signed in iMessage. This is really bad. It must be possible to just send one iMessage as SMS. I need this for example if the receiver is not in the same country eg. for holiday and has no internet. With iOS 9 you could simply send one message as SMS without to change any configuration. This seems not possible any more. | |

| Sep 20, 2016 at 0:46 | comment | added | Anastasios Andronidis | My scenario is that I know that my friend has an iPhone and I know that he has iMessage. But I also know that he has no internet connection at this point so I really need to send him an SMS. How can I do that? | |

Are you trying to send it as an sms just because or are you trying to send an sms to someone because you can only send sms to them? It would be helpful to know what kind of device the other person you are communication with has in terms of device. | |
