There may be times where the recipient may be out of cellular range to receive your secure (blue bubble) message, so the service provider attempts to deliver as an insecure Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) instead and that message appears as a green bubble.


If the recipient has blocked you, you would not have blue bubbles whatsoever.
