If you're not friends with someone on facebook can you still send them a message?

[Valeria Ramirez]

I want to know if your not friends with someone on facebook are you still able to send them a message? At first I would try to send it and it said my message was not deliver. I tried again and it send. Now I am not sure if it actually send or not. Can someone help me out with it. Because I can't seem to find out if it send even though it said it did. But before it use to say it couldn't send and not it said it has been send.

yes u can. If it has the message icon u can. Some ppl block non friends from sending messages, but u wouldnt see the message option if they did.

You can, but now it gets sent to their "other" folder if you are not friends with them.

Yes you Can But It May Go To The Other Folder

Messages That Get Sent to the Other Folder No Notifcations are Sent
