Re: iMessage standard SMS question
In our case we have the same numbers we've always had. We both got our iPhones at the same time and those messages then became iMessages. But when I switched back to Android for a bit and was no longer using the iPhone, I couldn't get messages from her anymore. So this would be a bad thing in the event that something happened to your iPhone and you had to temporarily go to a backup device for a few days. I'm back to my iPhone now. I just switched to Android for the weekend.

Re: iMessage standard SMS question
Also, his gf will have to go into settings, message, and turn on send as sms, which is turned off by default, when iMessage is turned on. I think this is unfortunate, it should remain on by default. Her phone will still send iMessages as iMessages when sending to another Apple device.
