Hi Sandy,
I think Rob is correct that is has something to do with iMessage as
opposed to SMS messages. I looked in the iPhone settings under Messages
and there is a switch for "Send as SMS". It says "Send as SMS when
iMessage is unavailable." You may want to check and make sure you have
this turned on. You could also try to text your husband on his Android
phone without using BrailleTouch and see if that works.
BrailleTouch uses the same Apple-provided messages screen as Fleksy and
other apps. I do not recall seeing a developer option to control whether
it uses iMessage or SMS, but I'll check again. My assumption is that
this Apple messaging screen follows your iPhone messaging settings, so
hopefully the above suggestion will work for you.
I hope this helps.
Best,
Caleb

ahve iPhone say iPhone in the contact, or say Mobile which covers the rest.
Maybe that's theo nly way to force it. I'd like to see more on this aspect
too, please.
I'll go fiddle with it in a minute or few.

Caleb, Richard and others,
I think Richard may have helped uncover something. Using Braille Touch, I
texted myself and I got the message and I obviously have an iPhone.
I then tried to text my husband, whom I text for often than anyone else,
who has a droid and message failed. And yes, I am able to text him without
BT with no difficulty.
I then texted an iPhone-owning good friend (one I know is up and about at
this early hour) and he got it.
I can type a message and put it in the clipboard, go to Messaging and
address the usual way and paste from the clipboard, but I'd like to cut out
those steps. Thanks!

Hi Sandy,
I'm sorry you are having trouble texting with BrailleTouch. It sounds like
you are doing everything correctly. Please try sending a message to the same
person directly from the phone number in your iPhone address book without
using BrailleTouch. If that works, please try closing BrailleTouch from the
app switcher and restarting, or try restarting your iPhone.
I hope this helps. Please feel free to email me directly if it still doesn't
work for you.
Best wishes,
Caleb

I still cannot text with Braille Touch. here is what I do:
1. Type the message.
2. Flick left and find the text message option. I double tap it and land
in my contacts.
3. I navigate to the recipient's info; I find the mobile number and double
tap. It seems that the number is in the correct place so I tap send.No dice.
I go to messaging and get an indication of "message failure" but the
failure message has the recipient's name in it! What am I doing wrong?
