text messages in your iphone's messages
app can appear as either green or blue
if your iphone messages are green it
means that they're being sent as sms
text messages
sms text messages are sent using your
cellular voice service and don't use the
internet or your data plan you'll always
see green when writing to android users
or when you're not connected to the
internet
if your iphone messages are blue it
means they're being sent as imessages
imessages are apple's proprietary format
which sends messages over the internet
between apple devices

green messages keep showing up you might
have imessage turned off
