Hi. I gave my Girlfriend my old iPhone X. We went to the Apple Store to have it wiped. When she got home, she tried to send a text to her Brother. He has an Android. It didn’t work. I had her turn on SMS and MMS on her iPhone, and she can send texts to him. I don’t think SMS is just for Androids, because it was used in the 90’s, when pagers and flip phones were the thing.
Just what I know.

SMS is a cellular protocol. Unless you’re using an app supported on both platforms, I’m not sure how you can send a text message b between and iPhone and an Android phone. As far as I know, Apple Messages doesn’t have a corresponding app in the Android ecosystem. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook From: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com>> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Friday, August 19, 2022 3:24 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Question about text messages You absolutely do not need a cell signal to send a text between Apple and Android. You simply need to be sure send as SMS is on under the message settings. Richard “What we think or what we know or what we believe is in the end of little consequence.
