I used to be able to iMessage my mother on her iPhone on both my iPhone and my mac. All of a sudden, these messages are not going through. I am able to send iMessages to other contacts on both devices. I have restarted my phone, reset the network settings and even deleted the contact, but it still only sends messages to her as SMS.
View 3 RepliesI've been using my iPhone problem free for a while now. Except recently, iMessage will not send messages in iMessage form to one person.
It had worked before and now it doesnt. After a while it just sends as a text message.
Ive tried: rebooting, changing emails, and turning off iMessage.

Since Apple released iMessage my friend and I have been iMessaging. As of yesterday, I can still send my friend iMessages as usual, but she can only send iMessages to my email (I have "Receive at" set to my phone number and email, Caller ID set to my phone number). If she tries to send an iMessage to my phone number, as she did before, it will only send as a Text. All of my other iPhone contacts can still send iMessages to my phone number. We've each tried rebooting and switching iMessage on and off (we both have iPhone 4, IOS 5.1.1) without any luck. I realise that iMessage is still technically working with her sending to my email, but we just don't understand why sending to my phone number has suddenly stopped working.

When I send a picture through iMessage, sometimes it takes up to 3-4 minutes to send. Sometimes when I text using MMS/iMessage, it takes a minute or so for the sending bar to make the swoosh noise. Kind of weird it takes that long to send a message, and it's not all the time. Is this normal? Any help would be great.

I basically have two Apple ids and the reason I have two is that one is very old, dating back to 2003 and this one was used with my .Mac account and currently used with iCloud. My second id is my linkied to my iTunes account. They were two independent accounts until iMessage came along and when I initially used my iCloud account for this service and then my iTunes account.
Now, I have iMessage on my iPhone that seems to run through an infinate loop of turn on iMessage, waiting for activation, "An error occurred", "Enter Apple ID", sign in, next, wait, wait, wait, wait and then back to "Enter Apple ID" and this happens when using either id.
I might also add that I cannot seem to download anything from iTunes.
I have an iPhone 4 my wife has an iPhone 4S both of us are on 5.1 I have been iMessaging her for months and after an unsuccessful iMessage yesterday I am unable to use iMessages with her.

I have logged out and back in to iMessaging and have SMS turned off and I've cycled the power on my phone

Will an iMessage go through if the # is disconnected/no longer in service?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi everyone. Hoping for some help with a bizarre issue. I switched from an iphone 3gs to an android a few months ago, but when some (not all) friends w/ iphone's text me, it tries to send it as an imessage from their phones. I don't receive the texts for hours at a time. Is there something I can do to prevent this? Or is on their end? This has even happened with people who I have exchanged numbers with well after I made the switch from iphone to android which I find particularly weird.

I want to know how to disable iMessage for one contact. My friend lost her iPhone and now owns a Nokia, though her number is still the same. She does not receive iMessages that I send her, and I don't know how to disable iMessage for one contact only.

My iPhone has suddenly stopped sending iMessages but only to my husband. It will send iMessages to all my other contacts with iPhones but when I try to message my husband it seems to send as SMS with no option. I used to be able to send him iMessages. How can I turn it back on? I have tried logging out and back in again with my Apple ID and also tried rebooting iPhone but it's still not working.

turned off data roaming.  Only contacted one iphone user by text whilst off wifi. So his messages went and came back by standard SMS text message. Now I'm home, back on 3G wifi etc, iMessage is working fine, except this one contact which my phone now insists on using text SMS only. I can not get him back on iMessage no matter what I do! His iPhone hasn't changed but also insists on sending texts to me as SMS only! Yet all worked fine before I went away!

Now she has returned to the US, but my phone continues to send her SMS Text Messages. I tried deleting the entire conversation, as well as turning iMessage off and back on in Settings, but no matter what I do my messages to her continue to be SMS.Â

I am currently being harassed, and threats to my life are sent to me daily through iMessage, should I choose to enable it.
I pay each month a fee to AT&T to block that number from calling and texting me, but they have an open conduit to make my life ****, via iMessage. I have had this problem for a year now, and two police reports have done nothing to stop this harassment.
Why should I have to disable a feature like iMessage, or switch numbers yet again, just for peace of mind? Wouldn't it be a basic feature/service/capability that should be included, or at least thought about well in advance of a release of such a feature?
Why has no one thought about being able to block a contact from messaging another via iMessage?

My iMessage won't work with a specific contact. It says, "Turn off airplane mode or use wi-fi to send and receive messages". I can send and receive messaged from other people but not one particular contact. We are both connected to the wifi.

i recently got an iPhone 5s running iOS 7.1.2 for my birthday. I'm having no trouble sending/receiving texts from non-Apple devices, however when I try and send a text message to a friend with an iPhone (running IOS7) it sends through iMessage. I hate iMessage. I don't want it. I just want to send an SMS to my friends... What's wrong with that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI updated my iphone 4s to ios 5.1 last night and then today when I texted someone else with an iPhone using iMessage, my contact came up as my Apple ID email on their phone instead of my name that was associated with my phone number. This obviously caused a lot of confusion because my email isn't my name and the person I texted didn't know who the message was from. The message looks completely normal on my phone and their contact came up fine but mine didn't work on theirs. I also determined it was my phone that was the problem because I texted another person with an iPhone and the same exact thing happened again. I checked to see if anyone else had this problem and I couldn't find any postings on the Apple forum. So if you are having the same problem and/or know how to fix it,

I am currently on my second iPhone 4s after losing my first one. I have encountered a problem where my contacts which also have an iPhone, thus receiving iMessages are seeing my contact name as my email address. How do I change this in the settings? I have tried to manually change it but even if I switch to the number option there seems to be no change.

my husband's number even when added into the contacts only appears as a number in sms/imessage and call log. I have tried deleting and adding again as a new contact but still the same issue.With other contacts that I have saved there was no issue only for my husband. He has 2 numbers from different providers here in UAE both numbers have the same issue. I have restored network settings, turned phone on and off.

A few days ago, I tried to send an iMessage to my wife who also has an iPhone. The iMessage service was down (got the 'Delivery Error' icon). I then chose the option to send as text message.Â
Now whenever I try to message her, the message is always sent as SMS (her name is in green as is the text). How to get it back to sending her iMessages. Tried turning iMessage on and off. Turned SMS on and off. Nothing.Â
Why my iphone 4s does not send messages using the iMessage to another iphone? What's the problem?
