I've tried going to settings, messages, then receive at, but it says error next to my phone number. I tried signing out of my apple ID and it just turned imessaging off all together

This issue started with the last iOS update and has affected not only my phone, but my wife's and father in law's as well (we all have the exact same model) When I attempt to send a text message to my wife, my phone suddenly won't send imessages anymore. Only text. I have tried rebooting my phone, and my wife's phone. We have even tried wiping our phones and restoring them from backups. The problem still persists, wether we are at home connected to wifi or out of the house on 3G. The only way I have managed to send my wife an imessage was by creating a new contact with ONLY her e-mail address. That only worked once. since then, its trying to send everything as SMS again.
This is unacceptable as we live in an area with very poor celular coverage and rely heavily on wifi connections, therefore we won't receive an SMS until our phones get access to the celular network. All other apps and phone functions are working correctly across all 3 phones mentioned. On both my phone, and my wife's, I have double checked to ensure that iMessage is still turned on. I suspect that this is a global software issue seeing as it only started once we updated our phones to the latest iOS. My question is this:
Prior to the update, we were all able to send iMessages to eachother, regardless of where we were. The only time we'd have an issue is if someone's phone was turned off or not connected to either the celular 3G network or a wifi with internet access (which is natural).

I don't know what's happened, but for some reason my iPhone 5 has stopped sending iMessages to my boyfriend (the person I iMessage the most), it simply just says 'delivered' on my iPhone but they're not actually sending to him. It's working perfectly fine for everyone else.Â
I've reset my network settings and still nothing, what else can I do? Switch off iMessage and back on again? Not being able to text (iMessage) him is going to be a problem.Â

I started sending texts to my friend when there was no cellular data and now I'm at my house with wifi and I can't send iMessages

for the past five days my iphone 5 has been acting funny. My friend called me three times before I actually heard a ring and picked up. He told me that he kept calling, but I wasn't hearing anything. Afterwards, when I looked at my phone history, it says I had indeed missed a bunch of calls. The next day he tells me the same thing, except with Facetime. When I look at my history, it says "Facetime answered on another advice." It says this multiple times, especially when I do not hear my phone ringing. I do not have facetime on any other device besides my iphone 5.Â
At first I thought it meant that my phone was just acting weird and that the place I was at had no signal at all, hence why it took my friend three tries to reach me. But then the weirdest thing happened. Yesterday, my friend called me while I was driving. I wasn't picking up so he called again. When I got home, I called him back. Everything was fine. But when I looked at my imessage history with this said friend, it showed a message I never even sent! It was in English, but I definitely am sure I never sent that text at that time because 1 - I was driving & I knew where I was during that exact time and 2 - I don't even text that way!Â
This is odd. My phone is always physically with me and my phone is NOT jailbroken. I know it's not a glitch because after my phone sent that text message, I had a feeling my phone was being hacked or something! I just changed my icloud password, does that do anything? If someone has access, will it stop now that my password is changed? Do I take it to the Genius Bar?
I cant send sms messages to people who do not have an iphone, however i can send pictures to them ...

What is the deal with animated GIFs via iMessages on the iPhone? Does it work? Is it supposed to? Are there any limitations? I tried sending an animated gif to a friend. Both of us are using an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1. On my end, I see the animation playing on the iMessages app. On her end she just receives a still frame. Why?
I tried it two different ways. First I tried it by simply copying the image from Safari and pasting it into the message. Then I tried it by saving the image to my camera roll and adding it to the message that way. Neither worked. Both times I could see the animation on my end, but the recipient only saw a still image.
So this question is actually about my friends iPhone 4... She and I text on a daily basis and we use iMessages. As of two days ago, every time I sent her an iMessage, it would fail and I would have to send it as a text message. Well we finally figured out it was because her iMessages were turned off (probably by her 2 year old daughter.) So she turned them back on and she sent me an imessage. But when she sent the imessage and I received it, I received the message from her apple id, not her phone number which is what I normally receive her messages from. Her and I can't figure out how to change it back to her phone number..

I have an iphone 4s. Suddenly I was no longer able to receive imessages and the messages I sent to other iphon users were sending as text messages instead of imessages. I did a network reset which didnt work. Then i went into settings and toggled the imessage button. After doing that it now allows me to send imessages as an sms but says i can only be reached for messgaes at my email address and won't allow me to choose my phone number to get messgae. So now I can send imessages but they apepar to come from email account not my phone number.

I can send iMessages from my iPhone 4s, but not texts. The blue ones send fine, but the green ones just fail and display the red exclamation mark. I don't have an iPad, so don't really have any need for the iMessages, but I need the text to work!

I have tried turning iMessages on and off and resetting my network and nothing seems to be working. How can I resolve the problem?

I'm using a fully updated 5s and getting a delivery failure message whenever I send pics via iMessage. The strange thing is that the people I'm messaging are receiving the messgaes and pics despite the error message on my side. I've talked with some other iPhone users and they are currently having the same issue but I don't see anything online about the problem. I guess it's not a big deal since the messages are being sent.Â
