Re: User error
iMessage is the only way to send/receive a SMS on an iPhone.
The system is very well designed and works well 'automagically'.
Of course, it does all you guys want it to do, such as switches to SMS when you no longer use iMessages with that id (phone number). For example, my wife rarely switches on 3G on her iPhone (old habbits) and when I try to send her an iMessage, it almost always goes out via SMS (iMessages indicates what you send, by the color. So this works even with an iPhone at the receiving side.
Nothing usual for the user to do.
I guess, that lady apparently had done some weird configuration, that prevented the SMS "fallback" from functioning. What it was, we could only guess. But could be another iOS deice set up to receive with that number as ID.
All this case demonstrates is the twisted US legal system and the arrogance of the US judge. Don't they at least hire experts on these cases?
