IMessage is on but not working

I recently lost my iphone 5 so I had to switch to an old 3G in the meantime. Basically, the imessage claims its on with both my current number and email. However, when I send messages to people with iphones and ios 5 or higher it is still sending as text (green).I've researched the issue and cannot find any explanations.
Also, I am not receiving imessages either. I tried on my friends phone to send to my new number and it went through as imessage (blue delivered) yet it never came through. This leads me to believe that the imessage is indeed on (otherwise it would have went through as text on his phone). I have countless friends with imessage and none of the messages come up blue when trying to send.
Im not sure what the issue could be. It would be one thing if the imessage wasnt activated on my phone, but it is. I've tried resetting the network settings, turn on/off imessage, etc. to no avail. If anyone has any idea what the issue could be, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

On your iPhone go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
Select your Apple ID at the top and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out.
Follow this by signing back in with your Apple ID at the same location.

  • IMessage logged in but not working

    I recently had the logic board replaced on my early-2011 15" MacBook Pro due to video issues. While the machine was with Apple, I migrated my user to my wife's Mac and set up iCloud.
    I got my own computer back and had to re-login to iCloud (possibly due to the hardware change on my computer).
    I appear to have logged in successfully, but iMessage no longer works at all on my MacBook Pro. It shows iMessage being active, but every time that I try to send a message to an iMessage user, the send fails and I see the message, "XXXXX isn't registered with iMessage."
    Users who I KNOW are on iMessage don't show as logged in, as in the screen cap below.
    I've tried deleting any iChat/Message prefs in my Library --> Preferences. I've disabled and re-enabled iCloud on my Mac. I've disabled and re-enabled iMessage on the computer. I've also completely signed out of iCloud and iMessage respectively and set them up again from scratch - All to no avail.
    Is there a fix for this? Is this a 10.10.3 bug?
    Help!

  • IMessage is activated but not working

    hi, i have always had issues with imessage back when i first got my iphone in 2010.  It had always been a simple error like i needed internet to activate or i needed to reset all my settings but then i upgraded to ios 7 and things got progressivly worse. My iMessage is activated and so is my FaceTime. I only have it set up to have my number enabled becuase when i enable sending to my appleID it will break. other people that have an iphone with iMessage enabled see that i have imessage and their texts to me automatically convert to imessages. however, i cant recieve these imessages or send them to anyone who has an iphone with imessage enabled. i have tried factory reseting it and reseting the network settings and hard reseting it but nothing works. Please help.

    I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID.   Please Help me I speak Spanish so  if my English is not ok  I´m sorry about it.
    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

    My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
    Any answers on how to fix it?  I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

    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:

  • My iCloud password is working on iPhone 5s but not working on iPhone 6 anybody help

    My iCloud password is working on iPhone 5s but not working on iPhone 6 anybody help

    Tony,
    My first thought is to make sure that you are actually logged in using the same AppleID on both devices.  Many folks share one AppleID for their family's iTunes Store account yet use another personal AppleID to log into iMessage settings and iCloud settings.
    To confirm that the AppleID and password you are using is correct I would suggest visiting http://icloud.com and attempting to login there.  If you get in, then you know for sure that that is a valid AppleID/password pair.
    If that still doesn't reveal the issue then I would try opening Notes app on both iPhones, and then typing your password out where it can be seen clearly.  This may reveal if your are typing it differently due to iOS 8 changes in the shift key indicator, or possibly that a screen protector or case is causing your touches to not register the same on both devices.
    I hope these suggestions help.

  • Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on itunes, how do I move them back to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

    Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on my computer but i cannot move them over to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

    well first make sure that when you click on the name of your iphone on the left hand side of itunes that you go to the app and music tab and check mark the sync apps and sync music. then try clicking apply in the bottom right hand corner. then if not try doing it again after going to prefrences in the top menu and going to devices tab and click reset sync history if that doesnt work with music try and drop and drag to the name of your iphone, lastly if that doesnt work you can try restoring from a backup from before you updated. it will keep the new software but put everything that was on your phone when you created the backup back onto your phone.

  • Update to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working. Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working,  Same with scanner

    Help....
    Updated to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working.
    Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working.
    Same with F2100 scanner
    Am I glad I kept Windows desktop as without it I would be scre**ed now
    What is going on with this latest update as its like a return to Windows with things crashing or hanging up every few minutes????
    On a MacBook Air that has not been updated everything still works so what has 10.6.8 done and why won't the restore to 10.6.7 work?
    Steve

    None of those things you mentioned were what I suggested.
    I'm guessing the "ctrl click in printer preferences" means you Reset the Printing System?
    If so, that is what I would have suggested if deleting it by selecting the ( - ) button and then adding it with the ( + ) button.
    But, if HP has a fix, it likely needs to update its drivers.
