Samsung s8+ messaging

[Trisha303]

Hi all , I have the Samsung s8+ and my messages were always yellow but some of them now turn green and indicate when someone read that message.  Can someone explain what it depends on ? As im guessing it uses internet instead of texts but when I text my bf it doesn't work and it only happened twice while texting my mom. I have attached a screenshot of the conversation you can see it there

Hi @Trisha303.

What phone is your mom using?

A xperia z3

My 1st thought is, is your bf on a samsung phone? as normally it's down to the message app on both ends if they are both samsung it will show green but if the other is another phone system (like iphone) the it will stay yellow?

Both my mom and boyfriend do not have Samsung's so I don't know but both me and mom are on Vodafone

Ah yes Vodaphone may have there own service on the network to show you if so it would make only Vodaphone to Vodaphone

I am texting from an S8 to an S8+ and when the messages are green they show as delivered and when they are yellow they don't. Any illumination as to what is occuring? Strange things occur with the timing as well. I send my wife messages and they do not arrive in order. This has all started with the "enhanced" messaging. This is a fresh reload on a newly serviced phone. Any ideas as to what is going on?

Hi basically when it's in green it sends it through internet hence why it says when it gets delivered etc like an imessage on an iPhone
