To text an Android phone from your iPhone, simply open your Messages app and create a new message. When entering the recipient's contact information, make sure you use their full phone number, including the area code. iPhones automatically send texts as iMessages to other iPhone users, but when you text an Android device, it sends as a standard SMS. Ensure you have SMS texting enabled in your iPhone's settings and a cellular plan that supports SMS. Your text will be sent as usual, and you'll see green message bubbles instead of blue.
