Sending SMS with fb messenger

[Dave Estam]

Hi everyone, Is there a way to send a simple sms to a fb friend of mine without having to make "messenger my default sms app to send the message".

I use messaging to sms mms to most of my friends and many don't use fb messenger so why would I want to change my default just to send one message?

Maybe I got it wrong, some help please..... tks

If you don't have the friend's mobile number then surely you can't send a real SMS anyway, just a FB message (which doesn't require it being made default SMS client)? And if you do have the phone number then you can use your normal messaging app and don't need to use FB messenger at all. So I'm not quite sure I understand why the problem arises: is it that you are trying to send a message to a group of recipients, some of whom don't use FB and one of whom you only have an FB address for?

If you have no other way then it's easy to change: send one message, then open your regular message app again - it will almost certainly ask you if you want to make it the default once more.
