It then only sends a text whenever it can't send an iMessage. Also, your comment about the system telling you that an iMessage has been delivered when it hasn't is new information that wasn't in your original post, and is a different issue. Have you tried toggling iMessage off in your Settings, exiting, rebooting your iPhone and then toggling iMessage back on? Also, are there multiple devices with your kids details (eg an iPod or MacBook etc that the messages are also delivered to)? | |

Plus I don't always know if they are home with WIFI or not. To make it additionally difficult, when I do send them an iMessage it tells me its been delivered, even when it hasn't. | |
