HT4623 Why my phone number is not registered with iMessage?

Hi Mark, I have 2 iphone but about Why my phone number is not registered with iMessage? I try on/off my iphone but i didn't sucessfull

Turn imsg off/on.
If that doesn't work, I would than backup your data (considering the troubleshooting steps already listed) and "Erase all content and settings" on the device and setup as a new iphone and test imsg out in factory default. Try to activate your phone in factory default. If it shows your number / activates, there may be something in your current settings preventing imsg from operating / activating. If it does not activate, get in touch with carrier.

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:

Phone numbers are not registered with iMessage

Hey all.
I've installed Mavericks a few days ago .
I've synced my contacts with iCloud to my macbook air and noticed that I can send iMessage to email adresses only, not phone numbers. while on my iphone it is possible to send iMessage to any number (if it's iphone of course).
if I type the name of the contact or his phone number - it turns red and says "contact is not registered with iMessage".. Clearly they are, because i can send them iMessages through my iPhone.
What am I missing ? Is there any way to fix it ?
Thanks in advance,
Lord021

The iPad is not capable of sending an SMS message so texts, pictures, etc., must go through iMessage. The destination device must be registered with the Apple servers by turning on iMessage. Therefore, the user with the iPhone must enable it for iMessage.

SMS in Yosemite messages not working. "Not registered with iMessage"

Just updated today to Yosemite. Macbook Pro 2013 (current retail model) with upgraded RAM and flash storage. iPhone 6 running 8.0.2 with recent back up to iCloud.
When sending iMessages to my normal iMessage contacts, everything is ok. This update should also allow for continuity with SMS, that they show up as Messages in the same application. I cannot get any messages which are not iMessages to send out. Each time I attempt this, I get the error "User is not registered with iMessage." Which, yes, duh. That's the point. I've sent and received SMS messages on my phone with out error, but still have not been able to initiate or respond on my Mac with Messages. My contact card only has the same phone number which is registered to the same iCloud account for both the phone and the Mac.
I've restarted the phone and logged in and out of iMessage in hopes of a refresh. I'm out of ideas as to how to get them to sync up, or whatever it is they need to do.
Is there a step that I am missing? It should, in theory, just work, but I can't find any messages on this. Any guesses?
Thanks!

Hi,
It seems that some people are experiencing issues with Logging in fully to the iMessages Servers from their Mac.
There is one Error Messages that is seen that is known to be very similar.
This Error can only be fixed by Contacting Support.
What is does prove though is the The Apple ID in use can be rejected on a Device by device basis, i.e. it will work on a iOS device or even another Mac but not on one particular one.
Sometimes deleting the Keychain item for the iMessages Login can help (then Restarting the app)
It is called IDS: yourApple ID- Auth Token
If deleting this does not work try repairing the Keychain.
After that I would contact Apple Support. You may have to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people try to fit everyone into Software or hardware issues and charge for Out of time Apple Care.
Fixing and Apple ID/Account is free.

Suddenly not registered with iMessage

So why suddenly is a guy I've been texting from my iMac "not registered" with iMessages?

Hi,
If you Mac starts doing this to every single contact you try then it because the Mac is not logging in properly at the iMessages Servers.
Each devices has it's own unique Login to the iMessages servers.
For a Mac this means using the Mac's Serial Number to create the IDS: ****-Auth Token item where the ****s are your Apple ID.
You could try deleting this and Restarting Messages to see if it will recreate again.
If it does not (The Most likely outcome) then you will have to contact Apple Support.
To Fix and Apple ID is free. Level 1 responders tend to be Script Led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware issues.
You are most likely going to have to ask for a Level 2 and ask them to check the iMessages server for your specific Mac and it's login.

Mavericks Messages problem sending message: "not registered with iMessage"

I'm on MacBook Air(MBA) and recently installed Mavericks. I try sending a message from MBA MESSAGES to a person's cell phone number (they have an android phone). Their name appears in red and I get: "...is not registered with iMessage." So I was trying to read discussions in here and allot of them say Messages won't work unless a person has an Apple device- iphone, Mac, etc. I want to know if that is true or if there is any other way to send from the MBA a message to them? I also tried from Messages on MBA to their gmail address, which they use on their android cell phone, and get same error.
Is there anyway a non-apple person can "register with iMessage" if they have an android phone?
I know I can email them, but I wanted a fast way for emergency purposes to get a MESSAGE to them from my MBA. Sometimes they can't talk on phone at some times, but are allowed to get instant message for emergency where they work.

Hi,
You have to have otr get an AIM or AIM valid name.
AIM stands for Aol Instant Messenger.
Apple IDs issued by Apple (Those ending in @mac.com or iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com) are valid as AIM Screen Names if the password is kept to 16 characters or less. (this is an AIM server limit)
Apple made an Agreement with AOL over the use of names over 10 years ago.
The Original .Mac ID (@mac.com) could be paid for or could be Trial Accounts.
Trial Accounts continued to work after the trial ran out. (i.e. the email stopped but the AIM Screen Name didn't).
The same was true of lapsed accounts.
When MobileMe started people could link, email-wise, their paid for .Mac accounts to the paid for MobileMe (@me.com) accounts.
Any @mac.com still works over the AIM service.
Now also @Me.com names worked - meaning some people had two valid AIM names - they are not liked for use with AIM just that the passwords will be the same.
With the end of MobileMe all those @me.com account died as far as AIM is concerned.
However you could link it to iCloud which effectively moved it to the iCloud server.
(i.e. they are iCloud issued @me.com ID instead of MobileMe ones)
Then Apple started to issue @icloud.com IDs
This could mean that some people have three working IDs for use with AIM (but all linked to one email Account at Apple).
NOTES
From Lion onwards (iChat 6 and Above) Apple have had the app also login in to Apple before it will allow the AIM Servers to "read" the password.
This applies to any iCloud issued ID - the "newer" iCloud linked @Me.com and @iCloud.com IDs
This means you cannot use those IDs in iChat 5 or earlier as those version only do an one point login only.
With the coming of iCloud other Apple IDs could be linked to iCloud which may have given you either @me.com and later an @iCloud.com ID as well or just an @icloud one if you were later to the party as it were.
Whilst in some cases this does give you two valid AIM Screen Name the originating Apple ID does not become one.
