I haven't had to worry about this particular issue, but couldn't you just send the text message to her cell phone number? If you use this and not her Apple ID, I'd think it would always go to her cell phone. On 09/24/2014 12:52 AM, Harry Bell wrote: My partner has an iPad at home and an

Hi, Why would you want to change it? Apple magically knows when you are texting to another apple device, so it sends as an iMessage. It does not count against your monthly text allowed by your cell provider. So, if it is not broke, why fix it? On 9/23/2014 3:23 PM, TaraPrakash wrote: Dear
