@kateyyj

for SMS no need wifi or data on... for MMS need turn data on.

Go to Settings and tap "Messages," then make sure "MMS Messaging" is turned on by swiping the button to the right.
MMS Go to Settings-> Cellular-> then tap the switch to enable Cellular Data.

@kateyyj

You don’t have data included in your plan....or you have run out? All plans have data. Are you not with PM?

You can respond and send a text in a green bubble without changing your iMessage settings.

Google it.

Or you can do texts only by turning iMessage off permanently.

@CountyDownIeUk- Well you did say "Or" in your previous reply. But yes Timer could have explained any consequences.

@kateyyj- The above user is the rather more Apple guy around here. Please defer to him when he's involved. (Like all of us we're not always around.) Your issue is one of many reasons why I'm not an Apple guy.

1. Try this. https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/how-to/send-an-imessage-as-a-text-message/

2. Learn to manage your data.

Some iPhones handle the differences automatically. But to receive an iMessage without data or wifi is hit and miss. I would assume you have at least 250mb of data....learn to manage it.

It is highly unlikely that an Apple user would not want to use iMessage or to go back and forth changing their settings. Perhaps a concept that you would not understand.

It’s because iPhones automatically use iMessage with other iPhones when in Wi-Fi. Androids use either sms or mms.

@CountyDownIeUk

for the deregister iMessage - cannot send & receive SMS on Apple Device. , you need to deregister iMessage: by in my poster link to you can send & receive SMS from carrier on your on Apple device when another person send/receive and your data mobile & Wi-Fi off.....FYI some device Apple need for SMS Wi-Fi to get the SMS. but when you do this no more need Wi-Fi...if you test you don't losing anything.

the @kateyyj are experiencing for this issue.

@CountyDownIeUk- ?

Have you registered the phone to Apple? Do you have an Apple ID?

Re: iphone, how to receive text(imessage)without wifi or data?

CountyDownIeUk — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 02:00:47 GMT

Apple users have an Apple ID.

And your phone number or email address can get registered to iMessage and you can de register it. So to sell an iPhone one should remove all that stuff by doing a full reset.

In this post I see absolutely no reason to de register...unless it is still registered to the old owner.
