[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1830844, member: 396914"] Go into Contacts, find your husband's entry. Edit it and change his phone number from whatever it is now to "iPhone." Believe it or not, that is what I had to do to solve exactly the same issue with my new iPhone and her new iPhone. I have no idea if that was a change, or what, but despite restoring to the two new phones and following the steps from Apple precisely, her number got entered into my contacts as "Mobile" and not "iPhone" and that forced SMS instead of Messages. Very strange. EDIT: You might also need to change your setting in his phone. EDIT EDIT: You might also look at Settings/Messages/Send&Receive and check that the address includes telephone numbers for your account. That got mucked up, too. [/QUOTE]
