    From blue to green...

    Each of us has an iPhone. Frequently, when we send messages to each other the message will be blue, then change to green. Why is that? We have AT&T , are using Wi-Fi when it happens, and does not happen every time. All of us have IOS6. Does anyone know why this happens?

    yes what that is that when its blue you are using iMessage (which is free messaging) when its green the messages are SMS which would mean that someone you are messaging isn't using an iPhone as imessage can only be used on Apple devices......if your messages are green when you are both using iphone then i'm not sure why that would happen.

    I know about the messages being blue, it probably turns green after it's been read. Just guessing but it would make sense.

    From blue to green...

    They turn green when, for whatever reason, the message is not sent via iMessage; it is sent via regular texting (SMS/MMS). I don't know why they don't go as iMessage. I'm sure there are reasons...

    I mostly text with my wife who has an android phone and they come in a green bubble with black letters. I don't know anybody else that has an iPhone to text to. Oh wait I got one, I'll try him now.

    Edit. My messages go out that way, hers comes in a white bubble and black lettering. Now the text I just sent to my buddy with an iPhone was blue.

    If the other iPhone goes out of wi fi and has cellular data or iMessage turned off, or is in fact not an iPhone, what would normally be sent as iMessage, (blue) is sent as normal SMS (green)

    Now I'm confused. I am on wifi. I sent a text to someone who I thought had an iPhone. My background was blue with black letters. He came back and said he didn't have an iPhone anymore. Again on WiFi I text back and the bubble was blue.

    His return text were white background.

    So at some time you have made a successful iMessage to that number so the phone is expecting that to happen again next time you send a txt to it. If any of the conditions I listed above exist then the phone will, rightly, choose to send your txt as a regular SMS.
