iOS 5, iMessage and roaming

[shandyman]

This feature is easily turned off though.

'Settings > Messages > Send as SMS?'

oh just ignore him, he's never happy and just argues until people give up on him.

simply put, people are not as stupid as he makes out, people will just turn things off they don't want to use when abroad and turn them on when they do. if they don't then they have no common sense.

MacRumors isn't a mirror you know.

I argue until the problem is sorted.

It is, but then I can't send messages to people when iMessage doesn't work.

Ideally I'd be able to choose exactly when iMessage should be used and exactly when SMS should be used.

I also don't think that's how it works. When iMessage isn't working, the other person should theoretically be offline too, and therefore it would immediately fall back to texting. That's how I assume it should work anyway.

difinite source? its a BETA let it get released first

Just because it's in beta doesn't mean Apple cannot tell us the intended behavior under various circumstances.

I wish I could easily turn off data roaming for everything except imessage.
I can still do it by turning off all email accounts etc......would just be easier to have an option data roaming on for iMessage.
