HT3529 Why when i send an imessage to another iphone user it sometimes sends as atxt message and the other person doesnt end up getting the message?

Sometimes when i send an imessage to another iphone user it comes out as a txt message. I was just wandering why this happens and sometimes when it does the message is never sent to the person.

You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At

  • My iPhone 4 sending a iMessage to another iPhone user, the message will send then says not delieverd? So I have to send it as a normal text message .

    Hey! So I'm having a problem with sending an IMessage to another iPhone user and they are having the same problem. The problem is; is that I send a message to them it will attempt to send then will say under the message that it was not delivered? So I send it as a normal text message. Weird part is that we both have full service and have the phone bills paid. Lol

    There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

  • I can't send an iMessage to another iPhone use in my contactr, although I can send to other iPhone users in my contacts

    I Can't send an iMessage to another iPhone user from my contact list, but can send one to another iphone user in my contacts list, I have reset my Network settings, the first contact is in green text  the second is in blue text. Can you advice me please

    Same issue for both my wife and I to a mutual friend.  We all have iphone 4s's.  Our friend can imessage us, but our replies go back as SMS.  All other contacts work.

  • Iphone 5C will not sent iMessage to another Iphone user who has not installed ios7

    I have found that if I am trying to send an imessage to another Iphone user who has not upgraded to ios7, the messages will appear in my history as "sending". I deleted that contact history and tried to send another text and it worked as it was sending as a "green message" rather than a "blue message".  Is there a way to work around this?

    Thanks for the answer.  Disabling iMessage does work, but it's a bit clunky to have to do that every time I want to message him.  Many of my other contacts have iPhones and I like the iMessage feature.
    He's had the same number for years and I only recently have had this issue, he doesn't have iMessage on any device, he only has an iPod nano.  I wonder what happened that all of a sudden it has defaulted to iMessage for him.
    Any other ideas?

  • When trying to send a picture to another iPhone user it comes back as undeliverable. Is there a fix for this?

    Whenever i try to send a picture to fellow iPhone users I get the message "not delivered". The same thing happens to my husband, sister, brother, and sister in law. Is there a fix?

    I'm having the same problem. My MMS messaging is on and I've also tried turning my phone off and back on again. Strangely, some of the messages are getting delivered as my friend said he can see them but I keep getting an undelivered notification.

  • Messages sending as iMessage to ex iphone user

    I was wondering if anyone can help. When I got my Iphone 4 I gave my 3gs to my mum. She used my account for the app store and when iOS5 came out she got her own account to use with iMessage, find my friends ect. My mum has now moved to an Android phone and is using her iphone as an ipod and to play games with wifi.
    I've removed the iphone 3gs from the relevant accounts as I've seen there are problems with iMessage. I've turned off iMessage from my mums phone and removed her apple id from her phone, but when I message her from my phone it still insists on trying to send as an iMessage and instead of sending as a text message after so long, she just never receives it so I have to change it to a text message by holding the message and pressing "send as text". After doing this, things are fine for a while, but then after a few hours it will start trying to send iMessages to her again.
    This is driving us both insane, and I've exhausted all my options. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to stop this? and why have apple made it so difficult to do? People do have freedom of choice to move to other phones after all.
    I had a crappy experience at an apple store last week and am starting to get disillusioned with the who apple machine that I used to be such a fan of
    Any help appreciated.
    Sort it out apple!

    have you tried removing her from your contact and then readding her number?

  • Why am I being charged to text another iPhone user from my iPhone

    I have a pre-paid AT&T phone and am charged per text.   Normally it uses iMessage when I text other iPhone users and I am not charged.  When my friend that also has some kind of pre-paid, non-standard plan (not AT&T, t-molbie, or verizon) texts me on her iphone, I am charged for it.  Initally, I had some problems with being charged from other iphone users, but that may have been resolved when my IPad captured of the text first, before the phone did.
    anyone had any experience with fixing this?

  • How do I stop my iphone from sending my imessages to another iphone on my account?

    When I updated my Iphone 4 to the new iOS 6.1 software I had to do a restore process and everything on my phone got deleted, and when I started texting, I realized that everytime I received an imessage from someone, it was also going to my sisters iphone as well. Because of this she is getting all of my conversations that I am havign with people. And we have the same apple id account. Also, whenever she sends a text to someone that I have previously texted, it says that I actually sent the text instead of her. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.

    As has been explained countless times already on these forums...your phones are sharing the same AppleIDs.  Craete your own ID and configure your phone to use those services with that ID.  Edit your Messages settings to reflect the correct phone number and ID:  Settings --> Messages --> Send/Receive

  • When using imessage with another iphone user, is it still free to message them if they're out of the country?

    my friend is out of the country, and he wants use imessage, but i dont know if it will give me charges to my account and apple doesnt mention if it's only unlimited messaging within the country

    iMessage uses data, just like an email, if I can use that analogy. It will not count as SMS, however I have read somewhere where some people have reported getting SMS charges when using iMessage. I believe it is impossible though, unless the message does not go through and you have send as SMS checked in settings if the iMessage fails.
