Hey rcbrien,

It sounds like you have a question about Wi-Fi being turned on, but messages still not sending as iMessages.

There are a few reasons why a message may not send as iMessage. Learn more here under "If you see a green message bubble": If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.

Also make sure that Wi-Fi assist is disabled. With Wi-Fi assist, the iPhone may switch to a cellular network if the Wi-Fi network connection is weak. You can turn off this feature by going to Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist. Here's some more information: About Wi-Fi Assist - Apple Support.

Take care.
