IMessage missing on AU Japanese iPhones ?

I just picked up my new 4s here in Japan and made the switch from SoftBank to AU.  After spending a bit of time playing with it, I realized that iMessage is entirely absent.  I was running iOS 5 on my SoftBank 3GS and iMessage appeared where it was supposed to in the settings---messages area. 
Anybody hear about AU blocking iMessage?   Im going to be very upset if AU is blocking iMessage and not telling their customers. 

They implemented both iMessage and Facetime last month with the iOS5.1 update.
It seems that they've also implemented push notification for the @ezweb.ne.jp address (http://www.au.kddi.com/news/information/au_info_20120313a.html) as well as a profile to autoconnect to the au WI-FI SPOT network being rolled out (http://www.au.kddi.com/iphone/support/guide/auwifispot.html).

  • I have iPad, my wife's iPone 4 and my new iPhone 4s all on iOS 5 and using the same Apple account. That is convenient in many ways except I can't use iMessage from my iPad and iPhone to my wife's iPhome. Any solution?

    When iMessage is enabled on all 3 devices, they just seem to mirror all iMessage conversations on all of them. Can I configure iMessage for my wife's iPhone such that it becomes a separate entity with that respect while staying on the same Appte account with other our devices?

    Actually, there is a solution, and it sounds to go against what you want until you realize how well it works.
    Seperate Apple IDs is the solution, but you can granularly sign into different things with different IDs.  Now, I'm in the exact same situation as you and saw the exact same problem.  Here was our solution:
    1) Create new Apple IDs for everyone that didn't already have one.  This meant my wife and daughter needed new IDs.
    2) Go into Settings -> Message and select "Receive At..."
    3) Change the Apple ID in iMessage on a per-device basis to the new ID for who ever owns that device.  For example, the new ID for my wife went on her phone, same with my daughter.
    Apple IDs are free, and you don't have to change the ID on every part of your phone.  For example, we still have the generic family ID on iCloud and the store, but we have our own unique ones signed in on iMessage and Game Center.  From what I can tell, this is the best of both worlds.

  • How do I get my Imessages to work with another iphone again after it has stopped working?

    My iphone use to always send imessages with my boyfriend's iphone now it will only send SMS texts, how do I get it back to sending Imessages with iphone? 

    You should of course make sure that they're both running the latest version of iOS (at least iOS5 is required) - connect to your computer and update from iTunes, if not.

  • How is iMessage used on iPad and iPhone?

    I have set up iMessage on my iPad and iPhone, but still don't know how it is used.  I tried sending a message, but after entering the contact of the person, send doesn't seem to be highlighted.  What could be the problem?

    From an iPad, iMessage will only work between another iOS device or OS X computer.  So if the recipient does not have an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Mac computer (and must have it set up to use messages) then it will not work.
    On an iPhone, you can still send a message as an SMS to another mobile phone (ie. a mobile phone other than an iPhone) as long as you have the option "Send as SMS" enabled.  If the iPhone detects the "to:" address as registered to another iOS device, it will use Apple's services and send as an iMessage, otherwise it will send as SMS (if possible).

  • I have 2 missed calls on my iPhone but when I try to pick them up, the screen goes back to the first page, any ideas?

    I have two missed calls on my iPhone, each time I try to pick them up, my phone returns to the home screen, it will not let me see my recent calls. I have restored my phone, switched it off, taken the sim card out etc but still have the same problem. Has anyone any ideas?

    First thing you need to check is if you have do not disturb on to find this out got to settings-do not disturb and tap on it and turn it off this should work

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

    Hello, Toro Silva. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The steps in the section labeled Unable to activate FaceTime or iMessage with phone number and Apple ID after waiting 24 hours (iPhone only) of the article below, should help resolve the issue.  Make sure to create a current backup prior to processing these steps.

  • After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.  Is there a fix/test.

    After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. 
    What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered".  It happens even if i resend it over and over.
    I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
    I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
    I have tried rebooting all three devices.
    The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
    Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

    Hi,
    On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
    Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
    Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
    The Restart the Mac Version
    Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone  is using.
    Do same on iPad.

  • IMessages dont go from my iPhone 4S to my Ipad 1 both running iOS5 and same log in account

    how do i makes my imessages show up from my iphone to my ipad? ive sent a message from my ipad that works, however im supposed to be able to pick up one conversation on my iphone and finish it on my ipad and such. icloud is on on both devices, both devices have the same account logged in, and imessage is on, on both devices, pease help!

    My understanding is that for this to work: 1) You need to be using the exact same Apple ID on both devices. This includes the me.com and mac.com variants for iCloud, if you are using an iCloud ID as the Apple ID for iMessage; and 2) You need to set the callerID on the both devices to the same Apple ID, not an alternate ID or the phone number (on the iPhone). To check the latter go to Settings, Messages, Receive At, Caller ID, and make sure same Email address rather than the phone number or a different Email address is checked on each device.

  • How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone to factory settings but didn't back up prior to restore?

    How can I retrieve imessages after I restored my iphone 4 to factory setting and didn't back up prior to restore?

    If you synch your phone to your computer via itunes,it performs a backup prior to synching. You can check by luanching itunes select preferences>devices,all backups should be shown there. If in fact there is a backup of your phone listed then do a restore of that back up.

    If you haven't tried it yet, I'd eliminate memory issues first.  Close all of the apps with the double tap on the home button method

  • Imessage will not activate on Iphone 5, iOS 6.0.2.

    Imessage will not activate on iphone 5, iOS 6.0.2. My apple ID and password are correct, and I have wifi. I try to log in and it says "could not sign in. please check your wireless connection and try again". Help!

    You could try activating it while connected to a different wifi network.  You could also see if your router has a firmware update available and changing your router's settings to use Google's public DNS to see if that helps (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).

  • How to recover missing notes on an iphone

    How can I recover missing note on an iphone. I lost them when I deleted an old buisness email account that is no longer operational.

    Have you been backing up the phone? You might be able to recover the note if you restore to a backup that was made while the note was on the phone. It might not work though, if the note was resident on the business account and was being synced to the phone that way.
