How come my text messages are not going through as iMessages?

I've been having this problem for a few weeks now. When someone texts me from an iPhone with iMessage, I get their texts as a regular text message. Sometimes there text messages come in "s p a c e d o u t l i k e t h i s". I will also get multiple texts as well. When I respond to their text message, it usually goes through as an iMessage but when they respond, still a text message. Does anyone know why this could be happening or what I can do to fix it? I never did the last software upgrade if that helps. I ran into a lot of problems with the previous upgrade so I decided to just never upgrade again.

When you start a new imessage then you get your address book so you can choose who you send it to. There you get the option to choose a number or the email. Then take the email address. If you don`t have one then you must get there email and put it in your address book. Try it

    Try calling *228 and choose option 1 to reset the 0's and 1's on the device.

    My messages are not going through or coming in from other iOS devices.  Having to send and receive in SMS.  What is up?  Anyone else having these issues?

    There's an article that Apple has acknowledged this issue. They recommend turning off imessages, reset all settings and then reactivate imessages.
    If that doesn't work, you may just have to wait until they release an update, which should be pretty soon.

    Yes, many are experiencing this issue.  A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.

  • I iphone 4 is not sending texts to my friends and family with iphones.  The blue messages are not going through.  My green messages are going through. Help!

    My Ipone is not sending text messages. i can recieve the messages, but my replies are not being sent.. this seems to only be an issue to sendin to other iphones.  The blue messages are not being sent.  if the box is green, the meessage is sent.this seems to ahve started after i down;oaded the latest operating system.  HELP!!

        Welcome to the Verizon family, ivpacks! I regret to learn that your alarms didn't work. I also regret that there is a problem with the messages. Have you tried the alarm again? Does it still not work? For instance, just set the alarm for a couple of minutes away to ensure that the alarm goes off.
    When you send a text, do you get an error? If you power the phone off/on, do the messages send? This particular issue is expecting a software update to resolve the issue with texts and picture messages.
    I believe that you have chosen a great device, but keep in mind that there is a 14 day exchange period. If you exchange for the same make/model, you will not pay the restocking fee.
    If you do exchange for a different make/model, there is a $35.00 restocking fee.

    Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Uncheck any number/email that does not belong to the device
    Note: The little blue (>) will give you an option to remove the number/email from the device
    Note: Check this setting on any device(s) using the same Apple ID

    Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent on my iPhone 5, iMessage on my Ipads and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things. Any suggestions to fix these faults?

    Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!

    Sign out of the messaging account and sign back in. If there's no change, log out or restart the computer and try again.

  • Emails from the organization are not going through ePrint

    Hi,
    I've been having some issues with the ePrint feature that's configured in one of the printers that we have in our office. The printer is a HP LaserJet 200 color MFP M276nw. Every other client from other email addresses such as Hotmail, Gmail or any other address are able to send emails to our ePrint address and are able to print on it successfully. However, all the emails that are being sent from within our organization are not going through. We get an unsuccesful delivery message from the Exchange server stating that 
    The server has tried to deliver this message, without success, and has stopped trying. Please try sending this message again. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk
    We had checked with our Exchange administrators and they have advised that the email is trying to be sent, but in the destination it is being rejected. How can I get this issue to be addressed?

    Hello praveen_haridas,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that your corporate emails are failing when trying to send an email to the Laserjet 200 MFP 276nw printer's ePrint email address.
    Are you getting any messages about the failed messages in your ePrintCenter/HP Connected account?  If so what does the message state about the failed job?
    Thank you.
