They do not have the ability to fix this. My wife's data plan is capped at 500MB and when it runs out iMessage does not work. She turned off iMessageing and days later when she still reported that she wasn't getting texts. The Apple tech said that she should tell people not to reply to a thread and to start a new one. She uses her phone for her business and she can't preemptively blast text over 150 contacts not to reply to an active thread, but to start a new one. Her iPhone contacts don't even understand the issue. Now she has to upgrade to an unlimited plan or risk missing messages. Apple has broken text messaging for anyone who uses an iPhone.


I have trouble sending texts from my iPhone to my wife after she switched from an iPhone to an Android. In my experience deleting old conversations and starting new ones didn't work. What does work is double-tapping a message after it has been sent, which gives you the option to send via SMS.


Useful to know! Double-tapping would be completely non-intuitive on a phone, how did you discover that?


double-tapping has the same effect as a long-press in this case. It brings up the contextual menu.


Anyone know how this works for windows mobile devices?


It doesn't, it's not meant to (I'm the creator, btw)-


I downloaded the Iris Browser which is based on webkit which was hard to find because Rim bought Torch Mobile and you can't download it from their site anymore. That may have been the last hope for a decent browser on Windows Mobile. Anyway, some of the features worked but it doesn't look as good as the video. Sometimes the back button didn't work and the About window wouldn't close. Mostly everything else worked but Page Flip. Keep up the good work.
