If you are having difficulties sending messages to Android phones, go to Settings > Messages and ensure that 'Send as SMS’ is switched on. This will ensure that when iMessage is not available on your recipient's phone, your message will be received as an SMS.  Please note that your cellular data provider may make a charge for SMS messages.
