IPhone :: IMessage Isn't Working - It Keeps Saying "This Person Cannot Be Reached At This Time."
May 1, 2012
I've been iMessaging this person for a couple days. Now all-of-a-sudden it's saying, "This persan cannot be reacheds at this time." I'm not sure what to do...
My iMessage has stopped working on my iPhone 5s, but only with ONE person. I have reset it multiple times, i reset the network, and I reset all the setting on the phone. I'm quite confused and need to know what's going on.   Â
iMessaging has been fine until this last week, and now, 75% of the time any imessages don't send to my girlfriend - they don't change to delivered either - they just sit there, in blue, but not sent or delivered.
We have both restored our phones and backed up from icloud - this didnt fix anything.
We both changed our imessage "recieved at" email addresses yesterday - to make our tests weren't sending from the old attached email account, I'd send a message to her, then get her to reply and vice versa - basically to make sure it was the newly setup email (as I believe there's a propogation period when adding a new email to imessage?) - either way, this didn't work.
I've tested via my ipad2 - shockingly enough, this didn't work.
We have no problem iMessaging anyone else with an iPhone however to each other it does not work. On her phone the bubbles are still green despite the fact that we both have wifi on and iMessage on yet on mine it will be blue and say delivered but she doesnt recieve anything? However what I have noticed is that on her phone she has no other options such as the 'Send Read Receipts', 'Sent as SMS' or the 'Receive at' which from what ive tested with on my other iPhone friends do have so at first i thought that would be the problem but it can't be because like I said she has no difficulty messaging anyone else with an iPhone. (Same with FaceTime which i figured wouldnt work because they work the same way..I think?) I've tried everything and somehow it still doesnt work?
when both have their imessage turned on, i can text my gf and her daughter also gets my text and can reply. any text that any of the 3 of us send, we all can see in the same thread. how do we sop this from happening while leaving imessage turned on on all 3 phones? this doesnt seem to happen with any other iphone/imessage users, only me
The internet/LTE on my iphone has stopped working for everything besides phone, iMessage, Facetime (email, safari, and facebook all say they need internet access). I've reset my network, did a soft reset (home and power button). I have internet connectivity since I can do video facetime. What are my next steps to get safari working
When I try to log into the App Store or iCloud on my iPhone it sais it has reached the maximum of free accounts on my iPhone. I have used several other Apple IDs on my iPhone in the past, but I want use this new Apple ID. How can I do that?
My iPhone 5 battery will charge up to 84% without an issue.
After 84% it keeps showing messages about the accessory not being supported.
I have used official charges, Belkin chargers and a USB from my PC/Laptop all eventually show the error message.Â
After I unplug and reconnect the lightening cable the phone continues to charge but the message will reappear every so often and I have to repeat the process.
Not good over night and then when you wake in the morning the phone is already down to 50%.Â
I feel that this is a failing battery but not sure if its covered by Apple in any way.
Yet another issue with ios 5.1 update!! My iMessage in now not working!I got it going temporarily yesterday but lost it again this morning.I am in a wireless zone and I have re-booted the phone and gone into settings and switched imessage on and off again?? Is anyone else experiencing this?
I have an 4 and an iPad. I recently moved to Germany and do not have cell service. A friend mentioned iMessage to me, and I immediately began using it. However, on my iPhone, when I try to message someone new; I can't. They have to eniciate the conversation with me. And now when I try to respond to some people I already have an iMessage with it changes from blue to green for SMS, which I obviously cannot do without service. My friend suggested turning iMessage off and then back on. Now it says waiting for activation. Why? My ipad works fine.
I've got an iPhone 4, and my iMessages are not working properly.
I've got a Belgian (Mobile vikings) subscription for my mobile internet. Since I've got this, i've been trying to receive my iMessages through my number. This does NOT work. I've tried to reset my text system of my provider, doesn't fix anything. I've resetted my iPhone, no result. And so on...
The weirdest thing is, I've installed my AppleID to receive the messages, and that works! So i can receive on my AppleID, but not my number...
When I try to reconnect, it keeps 'controlling'/'checking' for 15min and that he says it has failed...
I just decided to try iMessage today, after turning it on, entering my apple id, all set to go, but no, it doesnt work I can go into the create imessage where its blue not green and i type out the message. Then send. It says sending before failing when the bar reaches the end. The reciever does not recieve the message.(also dont u think it would be great having facetime on 3gs, and how do u create a personal hotspot on a 3gs?)
I had a problem with my imessage not working all i did was restore it again and there was an update from my carrier and it put my imessage back in action try it
My number is verified, wifi is on but when i go into messages it no longer says iMessage in the box like it did earlier today, it now just says message and I am being charged. It is an iPhone 4S.
I bought iPhone 3GS and Iphone at USA. I have started to use IPhone 3GS after I moved back to India. I have OS 5.0.1 and I'm unable to use IMessage feature. What could be the reason? When I try sending IMessage through IPhone 4S, it works fine (using wifi, that is) but not with iphone 3GS (wifi or cellular network)
iMessage has stopped working with 3G and/or LTE on my iPhone 5 after recently updating to iOS 7.1.1. It works if I am connected to wifi and otherwise my 3G network works fine with all other apps. I have tried reactivating iMessage, rebooting the phone by pressing power and home buttons at same time, and have even restored my phone to the factory settings and still nothing.Â
After I had updated my iPhone4 to iOs 5.1 I have noticed that my iMessage doesnt work. The only way it will work is if i send them using my email and not my phone number it only says "verifying" net to my phone number. I have restarted my iPhone and I have even restored it to factory settings and it still wont work. All it says it "Waiting for activation..." under where you turn iMessage on. Anyway to get it to work with my phone number and not my email?
