So iMessage sends the message to two ios5 devices over 3G/Wifi, right? What if, for instance, my girlfriend is in an area of bad coverage for the night but I have 3G coverage. When I send an iMessage "text" how will she get it? She won't until she gets 3G or wifi coverage, right? That seems like a loophole. If I need to get in touch with her over text, I shouldn't have to manually disable iMessage just to send her an SMS.
 
If the sender or receiver doesn't have a data connection, but is an iPhone. The iPhone waits five minutes, then resends the iMessage as a SMS.
 
The iPhone will send the message from EDGE/3G/Wifi. It will use which ever radio it can. Preferring wifi and imessage, but will send as SMS

Oh cool! Thanks intell that's exactly what I expected it to do but I didn't know that functionality was there.
