[QUOTE="dbm, post: 1310553, member: 184286"] I've been playing with my 4S this morning and sharing texts with a fellow 4S owner. We've noticed something interesting: The first time you SMS a 4S, the message is in a green bubble and it says 'sent as text message' below it. When they reply, it comes as an iMessage, and you can also reply via iMessage from that point. If you have a break in the conversation for some time (maybe 5 mins?) your next message drops back to being SMS. It looks like the SMS must carry some kind of meta data which the receiving device responds to and initiates an iMessage session. Anyone know how they might be doing that? [/QUOTE]
