TLB,
Could be right. There's definitely some iMessages purgatory happening to some users. I didn't realize iMessages was automatically enabled and my daughter's phone number became associated. I disabled the feature and contacted the one iPhone number she had messaged to make sure things were still working. Luckily they seem to be. Glad I caught the setting in time and I loathe Apple for trying to hijack an industry standard function with a proprietary feature that sometimes goes awry.
I haven't paid extra for domestic SMS in years. I would be more than happy to use IP based messaging when necessary, but please let me keep my number free and clear. Thanks.
