I am exchanging some messages with friends and family that live in Europe. The problem is, occassionaly, the iPhone will give up as sending as an iMessage and then send as a text. As a result, I am being charged for sending an international message, when I would rather just write an email or skype (if iMessage wasnt going to do its job). Is there anyway to set strictly iMessage to certain contacts?

Just purchased my IPhone yesterday and can't send out any text messages. I went into imessage and it keeps saying "waiting for activation". I've done everything that the Apple support said to do. Also what several websites have recommended. I'm almost thinking of taking it back and getting my old phone reactivated.

Can one send a text message to a phone number, with imessage?
If so, how do I go about doing that? It seems to me that imessage is aol messaging, rather then any and all texting.

i have noticed that after switching to ios 5.1 my phone has been acting funny. for example: when i am messaging other iphone users with iMessage, it keeps switching from iMessage to regular text every 2 or 3 messages. at first i thought it was the other person since i am normally within my works wifi network and at my home wifi network, but it seems that this problem only occurs to other people when imessaging with me and not with anyone else. and this problem occurs to me while imessaging everyone, so i have come to the conclusion that the problem must be my phone. i have noticed this problem to occur since updating to ios 5.1. has anyone else experienced this problem? what can i do? i am 2 steps shy of reinstalling my phone.

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 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?

My iPhone 5 is about to go in the garbage, and it's only a year old.
For months I've been dealing with being unable to send pictures to contacts by iMessage. Now in the last week I cannot send by MMS either.
I also cannot send on my iPad.Â
I've read through numerous forum postings and let me assure you that absolutely nothing has worked. Here is what I can remember doing so far, but to be honest I've been troubleshooting on my own for a while so I am probably forgetting things. Restore iPhone Troubleshooting on this blog: [URL] ..... Reset network settings. Change iCloud and AppleID password. Remove AppleID from iMessage, use only phone number. Double-check that MMS is turned on. Double-check that numbers aren't blocked. Double-check that it isn't on the recipient end. Considering it's all of my contacts and they can send everything to me just fine it is obviously not their fault. Contact service provider, they say it's an issue with AppleClear out iPhone memory, I have almost 8GB of free space. Update to latest iOS. Tried sending on WiFi and LTE, doesn't work on either ...
I can iMessage everyone on my iPhone but I can't iMessage this one person I've tried like three times but it just says "not delivered".

This has only happened in the last week. Prior to this I had no problems and don't believe I have made any changes. I have taken the suggestion to reset my network settings but that does not seem to work with the problem. I can send them using regular text message and I can send SMS with iMessage, just no photos. I get a not delivered message each time. Â

My iPhone 5 sends and receives text iMessages just fine, but I cannot send any pictures. Â
Whenever I try to send a picture, iMessage indicates at first that the picture has been "delivered". Then, about 10 seconds later, it changes the status to "not sent". The picture never goes through.  I can send the picture as an MMS/Text, just not as an iMessage.Â
I've tried resetting my carrier/network settings, turning off/on iMessage, rebooting the phone multiple times, removing the SIM card and everything else I can think of without any success.

iMessage is not working to my husband number. We both have the iPhone 4 on orange network but when I select to send him a message to his phone number it only ever sends as a text message, not iMessage. I can send as iMessage if I select his email address instead or if I respond to a message from him.
