Can't send iMessage to specific contact

Hi,
Just today this started happening, I can't send an iMessage to one of my contacts. It just says 'Message not Delivered' when I try to send it.
It's happening for only one contact, on both my iPhone 4S and my MBP.
I tested sending an iMessage to another friend and it works fine. Nothing was changed on my end..
I've checked my account settings and they seem okay to me. Not sure what might've caused this.

HI,
If one Contact, either Phone Number or Apple ID is not available then it is likely that their Phone is out of service or turned Off.

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

How can I send iMessages to one contact but text messages to the rest?

Thanks,
Jonathan

My girlfriend lives in the US and I live in Canada. I have unlimited international texting but very little data. She has iMessage but she gets charged for incoming international texts.
So, I want to use iMessage only for her (so she won't get charged) and text for everyone else since I have little data and I already have unlimited texting.
Just as clarification.
Thanks

Can't send iMessage to one person

I just got my iPhone 6 yesterday and its already giving me problems. I can't send imessages to one contact which happens to be my boyfriend. on my iPhone 5 which had iOS 8 it was fine but now nothing. it was working fine for a bit but just stopped working an hour ago. I tried rebooting my phone, restarting the thread, restarting all the networks, sending as texts, literally everything and nothing works. please help me fix this, out of every contact it's my boyfriend who just lost his best friend and I can't even text him back. I'm so frustrated and can't make my way to an apple store for another 6 hours.

Hi there katie22xo.
According to the article below, it looks like you may need delete the thread and create a new one.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.

Contact can only send iMessage to my email, not my phone number

Since Apple released iMessage my friend and I have been iMessaging. As of yesterday, I can still send my friend iMessages as usual, but she can only send iMessages to my email (I have "Receive at" set to my phone number and email, Caller ID set to my phone number). If she tries to send an iMessage to my phone number, as she did before, it will only send as a Text. All of my other iPhone contacts can still send iMessages to my phone number. We've each tried rebooting and switching iMessage on and off (we both have iPhone 4, IOS 5.1.1) without any luck. I realise that iMessage is still technically working with her sending to my email, but we just don't understand why sending to my phone number has suddenly stopped working. Grateful for any suggestions.

It sounds like something has changed on her end...
Is she sure she has iMessage turned On? Because that scenario usually occurs when you get an email text from a regular cell phone, i.e. iMessage may be Off on their end.

Can you send iMessages from one iPad to another? If so how can I do this? Thanks

I have just got a new iPad and I'm wondering if you can send iMessages from one iPad to another? We are currently trying this out and can only send iMessages from an iPad to an iPhone is this correct? Thanks

You can use the Messages app to send messages to any iOS device or to a Mac running Mountain Lion. So yes you can send a message to another iPad.
Both iPads have to have Messages set up and you need to contact the other iPad using an email addresses as the "you can be reached at" email address.
Do you have it set up correctly on both iPads?

I have problem with my contacts. I can't send message if the contact didn't send me a message before. How can I add new address?

i have problem with my contacts. I can't send message if the contact didn't send me a message before. How can I add new address?

Hi tizac,
You will want to add them to your Contacts.
There's a "+" button at the bottom of the contact list on the left to add a contact.
If you need to add the email address or phone number to an existing contact, there's an Edit button at the bottom of the contact info (on the right).
Once you have the contact email address or phone number you want to message to, scroll all the way down to the bottom of their information and there are options to:
Send Message               FaceTime
Share Contact             Add to Favorites
Of course choose "Send Message" to send an iMessage to them and you will start a new chat. You will be given the options of how to contact them, via phone number (if they are on an iPhone) or email (if they are on an iPod touch or iPad).   They do need to be signed up for iMessage or it won't allow you to send.

I can't send iMessage to some people who I used to be able to, prior to iOS7 upgrade.

I can't send iMessage to some people who I used to be able to, prior to iOS7 upgrade. I'm sure these people are still using iPhones. Is there something to do with my settings? Or theirs?

I got my problem solved but I'm not sure what solved it. I DFU mode my iPhone and then restarted it, the other person only restarted it and now we can iMessage normally. Recently I had the same issue with a new contact but the next day got solved but I didn't do anything.
I hope this gives you some answers insetad of more questions =S...
Regards.

Can't send iMessage via E-mail

I can't send iMessage via E-mail.
There is no possiblity of typing '@' '.' etc.
Sending new message (iMessage) looks like this:
Everyting is activated.

My only other suggestions is add the email to a contact in your phone. When you type that contact's name, their email show pop-up below as an option. If that doesn't work, I don't know. Sorry.

Cannot send imessages to my contact anymore

am currently using iphone 5s with latest updates.
I was sending imessages to my contact till now. I was in a different city 2 days ago and was having trouble sending imessages so when the error message was provided to me saying "message not delivered" I checked the option of send the message as "text message". Now I am back in my home town and would like to communicate via imessage and my iphone will not allow me to send imessages to my contact anymore. The message I send goes like a text message which is in green.
please help I like Imessage

No. That was the first thing we checked. I am not blocked. And we can call each other without a problem.
But like I said... if I RESEND the text and check "send as text message" (it will show up green on my iPhone instead of blue), he will receive it then. But on his phone, when he receives it, it still reads as a blue iMessage.

Incredible can't send messages to specific people

I can't send texts to specific people. I can receive texts from those people and everyone else perfectly fine.
The people who can't receive my texts are on Verizon as well. They do receive the texts eventually some eight-twelve hours after I send them.
I read through other threads about not being able to receive messages; I tried some of the suggestions there, but they do not resolve the problem.

Have you checked the contacts numbers to make sure they dont have the +1 in front of the numbers because for some reason it seems that when users import contacts info from social site apps this happen and the problem happens... The Thunderbolt has a option to change this but it seems that the Incredible dont... At least not from the users that I suggested this to before..
Check your contacts numbers and see if the +1 is present.
Also try changing Settings / Call / Assisted Dialing and uncheck Enable Assistaced Daling at top..

I'm pretty sure you are full of it unless it was for a specific carrier messaging option. you CANNOT use iMessage with android devices. only iPhones, iPod and iPad running iOS 5.1.

The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that wifi network

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

Not working imessage!! I can not send imessage than after apple id. There are problems with Apple ?? Thanks!

Not working imessage!! Credit card and I can not send imessage than after apple id. There are problems with Apple seeverele?? Thanks!
Before the service reset function. Wait 24 hours to activate imessage.

go to the settings and turn off imessage
but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once
