The button "Use your apple ID ….. " doesn't work on her phone on iMessages settings, but she entered her phone number properly to be used for iMessages. I tried turning on and off the iMessages. Still doesn't work and she is sending me SMS regular instead of iMessage iPhone to iPhone. I even managed to send her iMessage from Macbook to her iPhone 4 using Message app for Macbook, but not from iPhone 5 (I have iPhone 5). But Apple, (please) this is the BASIC BASIC function of a telephone, why can't you fix this……I love Apple and all but things like this make me freaking jump out of my skin….the simplest basic stuff 🙂

Best Answer
I'm with you, this pisses me off. This small explanation may help:
iMessages on an iPhone has two ways of sending a text.
iMessage
SMS
On an iPhone you can have both enabled, or just SMS. You cannot disable SMS.
