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.

HT4528 question in imessage to another iphone user.

i sent imessage to another iphone user who shares his apple ID with his wife, who also has iphone. Apparently, when I send imessage to him, his wife also receives same imessage that i sent to him. Anybody has any idea? would love to hear feed back thanks!

In his wife's phone go to Settings>Messages> and have her delete your friend's Apple ID/ phone number from the send and receive section

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?

HT3529 Am I correct in assuming that if I iMessage with another iphone user while we are both in a foreign country, I will not incur texting charges?

Am I correct in assuming that if I iMessage with another iphone user while in a foreign country that I will not incur texting charges?

Correct.

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.

HT6154 Why are my texts sending as a text message to another iphone user instead of an imessage?

I just got my new iphone 5s. Well I have been sending text message to another iphone user and my text are going in as a text message instead of an imessage. The never happened with my iphone 4s. Also I do not recieve some of my text message till almost an hour later. This has nothing to do with where I am because I can be down the road from someone and I did not get their message until I got closer to her. Me and my husband just got these new iphone 5s and we are both having the same problem. Can someone help? I don't want to return the phone but if I continue to have this problem I'll just keep my iphone 4s because I never ran into any problems like this prior.

imessage will send as a SMS when it is unavailable either thru a weak wifi or cellular data signal. OR the other side has imessage turuned off.

Additional Information
You can change your iMessage Caller ID setting on iOS devices in Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID. Note that the Caller ID setting is used only for new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change your Caller ID, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, on iPhone you can receive messages sent to your Apple ID and phone number. A friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if your Caller ID is set to your phone number.

Why does my email address display when I send a txt message to another iPhone user?

When I txt MSG another iPhone user, my email address displays on their screen as sender's name. Is this because I have my email address set as my apple ID? Can I change my Apple ID name to stop this?

Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At > Apple ID.
Sign out of your Apple ID followed by signing back in with your cell phone number selected as your iMessage Caller ID.

Since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 all messages that are sent to my phone from another iPhone user get sent to my daughters iPhone as well. And I can text her but she cannot text me.

What is going on??? Since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 all messages that are sent to my phone from another iPhone user also get sent to my daughters iPhone 4. And she can receive my text but cannot reply to me.
