Switch between messaging accounts in a conversation

In a single conversation, you can switch between text/multimedia messaging and an IM account. So if you are having an IM chat with someone and he or she goes offline, you can send the person a text message to wrap up the conversation. You can also switch between different phone numbers for sending a text message to a person.

TIP To be able to switch between text messaging and IM messaging with someone, that person’s mobile phone number and IM address must be in the same single contact or a linked contact. If the address and number are in different unlinked contacts, link them (see Link a contact).
