IMessage is not working on my phone. Is this a system issue or individual phone issue?

My iPhone 4S is not allowing me to send any iMessages. It will say "not delivered" and send as a text. Is this an individual phone issue or system issue? I checked my settings and they are all correct.

According to Apple's status site, http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ nothing is down.
When you go into Settings>Messages, is iMessage activated? Are you connected to data via cellular or wi-fi? Are you able to access the Internet on the phone? What troubleshooting have you tried?

My "send" button for iMessage is not working. Anyone else having this problem?

Mine isn't working either for my iPhone. I tried activating it again and it won't wont let me select my number for iMessage:/ it only lets me add an email address which is pointless seeing as I use I message to txt from my number.

My imessage is not working. I went into settings, then messages, and it says my imessage activation is unsuccessful. What do I do to get imessage working again. When I turn it on it sends imessae through my email not my phone number

IMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6

iMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6
It worked well before doing the latest update.
iMessage on My iPhone 4 works fine after doing the same update.
Have done all the usual things plugging into computer, complete shut down and reboot, nothing has worked.
It keeps asking for password for Apple ID, I know I am entering the correct ID, check network is also being displayed.
Nothing wrong with my network either, other iPads and iPhones are working fine on the same network.
Would like this fixed ASAP.
Thanks

IMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

iMessage is not working in IOS 7 , Any workaround

Yap, sad but true...
The most annoying problem, besides iMessage, is the keyboard, it's horrible on my iPhone 4 in Safari. Some on some formulars the keyboard is so **** slow that I had to stop typing after 2nd word.
But I could fix the iMessage Problem, first turn off iMsg, then you have to backup your Phone on your PC/Mac in iTunes, turn off auto sync when done and pull the phone off. Then go to the Phone settings and reset everything, then choose "set up as new device".
When done go to settings and activate iMsg and wait for activation, it will work! After you're done plug the phone back to your PC/Mac and restore from the Backup you made before. Now go to phone settings again and check if iMsg is on, if not (as it was in my case), turn it on and activate again, it will work now!!!
Attention: Apps and Music have to be resynced or downloaded after this, they are NOT part of the Backup.
This was what Apple tech. support told me to do and it worked fine.

Imessage is not working for one person

My imessage is not working for one person.
Its been like this for about 2 days
I have an iphone 5
imessage is on
both phones reset network settings,deleted and remade contact, etc.

Does the other person have iMessage on, too? Is the specific phone number/address you are trying to reach them at show up for them in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive?

My iMessage is not working, i have an iPhone 4s and just updated the software to iOS 5.1

My iMessage is not working, i have an iPhone 4s and just updated the software to iOS 5.1

I turned my phone off and on again and it works now.

My iMessages are not working! Please help?!

My iMessages are not working? And I am receiving text messages over 48 hours late! There are some messages which I know have been sent and still have not received! I have called Vodafone and they have told me iMessages have nothing to do with them and that they have had several calls to do with this!
I just want to be able to use my phone!
Please help!

OOk now try this if you want. First off turn off iMessage in your settings, messages. Follow by turning off FaceTime in settings, FaceTime. Now once you have iMessage and FaceTime OFF. In settings got to general , reset, and reset network settings. This will reset your wifi also if you have it enabled so if you did you will have to input your password again. Then follow up by turning on iMessage and turning on FaceTime. Good luck. This seemed to work for some users.

Please can somebody help me? My imessage does not work, I try to activate it but it says an error ocurred during activation. try again :(

Its possible that the server can be down now. Have you ever used it before? If you want, try resseting the phone by just holding the sleep/wake key and the home button together for 10 seconds. Then wait 5 seconds when it turns off and press the sleep/wake button to turn it back on. Then try it again. Let me know what the results are.

IPhone 4S - iMessage & FaceTime not working.

My FaceTime and iMessages are not working. (iMessages show as "Not Delivered" and will not receive messages either.) Regular texts work fine though.
FaceTime loads for ~ 1 second and D/Cs.
I'm on the iPhone 4S (White). Verizon.
I have done many things to try to fix it including:
- Turn off/on Messages and FaceTime
- Set Date/Time to automatic
- Restart, reboot, hard reset device
- Restore from backup
- Restore new
- Gone to a genuis at an Apple Retail Store (Irvine)
I have yet to find a solution.

Exact same issue -- except I'm with AT&T and I have an iPhone 4 not 4S. Time to get a new phone? I finally had to turn off the iMessaging feature just to send, reliably, text messages. I have had some texts not sent for 45-60 minutes. Most simply turn to "not delivered" after 15-20 minutes. For a month or two now I have also noticed that my wife (we got our iPHone 4 on the same day) will receive group text messages seconds to minutes before me. Sometimes 5-10 minutes before me. I feel like the dope on those goofy commercials. But we've got the same phone and we're sitting right next to each other.
So.... for now I'm stuck with SMS-only texting.

Fact Time and iMessage will not work on

Face Time will not verify my emails and phone number on my iMac. Face Time is working on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5. All were working fine up until 2 days ago. I tried to Face Time on my iMac and I had to login and verify. Verify would just spin, spin, spin. iMessage will not work on the iMac as well. Same thing, was working fine up until Face Time quit functioning. All devices have been working on the same router/Wi-Fi. My operating system is Mavericks. Have had no problems until now. HELP!

IMessage is not working in Saudi Arabia

iMessage is not working in my country (Saudi Arabia) with OS X Mountain Lion
i try to join imessage on my macbook Mountain Lion i did not find my country
Can I get help out there I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion to use i message

Hi,
I looked in System Preferences > Language and Text and under the Region Tab I found you could set "Show All Regions"
This then added some Language choices that then had Countries listed next to them
I could chose Saudi Arabia here but it made not difference to the choices shown in Messages.
In Messages I was highlighting the iMessages Login I already have and clicking the Detail Button and then Logging in
After that I could look at the Drop Down for Language and Countries.
As you say it is a somewhat limited list.
I am also sure I did not really have my computer set to type in Arabic (It also still listed British in Language and Text > Input methods and showed the British flag rather than the Saudi one.)
It might also need a restart to make some changes take effect.
I see on the right of your Post that it shows other similar questions
It might pay to read some of those threads.

2-3 days ago, iMessage just stopped working on all my devices (2 iPads; 1 iPhone; 1 Mac), and it hasn't come back since. iPhone waiting for activation, the rest just don't send the messages.
FaceTime and iCloud work fine.
I really hope this is resolved soon, because I rely heavily on iMessage for the majority of my communications, and I need it back ASAP as I'm on holiday and out of my home country.

iMessage does not work after upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 on my iPad 4

I Fixed it by trying to sign in with a different ID and canceling when it asked For a password and then signed in with my ID and it works! No more error message. I got this idea from another discussion. Thank you for replying though.

Hello, it's been 5 days now since my imessage has not working..and i have chatted to the costumer for two times. I took thier advice and instructions just to enable to send and receive on it but unfortunately until now its still NOT working. Is there anybody who could help me please?

Try this even if you have already. Just make sure to follow the steps specifically.
Go to settings > Facetime > send and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out. If your not signed in then that will work as well.
Go to settings > Messages > sent and recieve > tap on your apple id and sign out.
Restart the iPad by doing the slide to power off setup. Just hold the power button on the top right till it turns off.
After the iPad has been restarted:
Go to settings > Facetime > and sign in
Go to settings > Messages > and sign in
Wait about 3 min then restart the iPad again. Same instructions as above.
When you restart you should be able to use messages again. If not then call support again and talk to someone higher than the first level support they have.
