My understanding is that the phone # is greyed out on the iPhone when you check. My DIL doesn't have a phone number listed there.
The update is that I got to talk to her last night for a few brief minutes on Skype just before she had to put her daughter to bed. Apparently her phone says Waiting for Activation, so things are not quite like they were described to me. My son acknowledges that he doesn't get iMessages from her either, which is contrary to what was originally told to me. I have sent them a link to a page on how to fix the problem, but with a three year old of her own, and another younger one that she looks after, it may take a while for her to be able to find the time, especially when she is still able to SMS her contacts.
I will let folks know when this is resolved. I appreciate everyone's help!
