Richard, thanks for pointing out. I rarely do e-mail on phone; will be more careful.

You may want to make sure the cursor is at the start of the message. Glad the texting is now working.

I looked in the iPhone settings under Messages and there is a switch for "Send as SMS". It says "Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable." You may want to check and make sure you have this turned on. You could also try to text your husband on his Android phone without using BrailleTouch and see if that works. BrailleTouch uses the same Apple-provided messages screen as Fleksy and other apps. I do not recall seeing a developer option to control whether it uses iMessage or SMS, but I'll check again. My assumption is that this Apple messaging screen follows your iPhone messaging settings, so hopefully the above suggestion will work for you. I hope this helps.
