Imessage not activating and unable to send text messages

Whenever I try to send a text the send bar fills up to about 95% and then it says it can't be delivered.  I have already tried a couple solutions posted on these boards, but neither of them work.

  • I am unable to send text messages in Message. I can receive messages but not send. I am able to do both with my iPhone. Why can't I send?

    Why can't I send text messages on my iPad? I can send and receive messages on my iPhone.

    Hi Kathy,
    Happy Holidays!  Do you have an iPad with cellular service and a text-messaging plan?
    Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    What's the difference between SMS/MMS and iMessage?
    SMS/MMS lets you send text messages and photos to other cellular phones or devices. iMessage lets you send text messages and photos to another iOS device over Wi-Fi, without worrying about text-messaging charges (cellular data charges may apply). 
    What do I need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage?
    Here's what you need to use SMS/MMS and iMessage:
    SMS/MMS: A text-messaging plan. Contact your carrier for more information.
    iMessage: An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.
    How do I know if my message used SMS/MMS or iMessage?
    You can tell which type of message you're sending by the color of the Send button and text bubble.
    SMS/MMS: Send button and text bubbles are green.
    iMessage: Send button and text bubbles are blue.
    How can I link my iPhone number with Messages on my iPad, iPod touch, or Messages for Mac?
    When you sign in to Messages with your Apple ID on your iPhone, you link your phone number to your Apple ID. If you then sign in to Messages with the same Apple ID on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, Messages will link that device to your phone number as well.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • IPhone 5 Showing incorrect Time. Unable to send text messages.

    Ok here's my problem. My time on my iPhone is incorrect. I check my settings it's on automatic and it is set to my Hawaii time zone. I am unable to send text messages because I believe the time is not the same as the server. When I try to send a text it says Go to Date & time settings. This happens at least once a day. My time would be incorrect for 10 mins then go back to correct time. This happens on LTE and on WiFi. I also have rebooted the iPhone. One last thing. I check my battery usage. It's says 4,294,967,278 days on Standby. I guess the time is messing up my stats. Anyone have the same problem? Please help. If not I hope new ios update fix this.

      My house is in an area that is covered by 3G.  But I work in an area that is 4G-LTE.  (Actually, my house is right on the border of these coverages because I notice it switching from 3G to LTE periodically.)
    Anyway, what I notice is that when I switch from the LTE to 3G network, my iPhone 5 clock gets corrupted.  It's 2h22m off.  Weird.  It doesn't do it right away, but after I'm home for awhile, I'll notice that the clock has been changed.  I know this corruption causes errors in my iMessage app because I've gotten an error message about it.  It may cause errors in others.
    Once I leave my house and go back into stable LTE coverage, I can do one of the following to correct the clock (because it won't autocorrect):
    - turn the phone off and then back on
    - go to Settings => General => Date&Time and switch "Set Automatically" off and then back on
    These fixes will also work if I stay in 3G coverage.
    This has happened every day since I got the phone so I know it's a real bug.  I'm sending a support request to Apple today.  Otherwise, however, I love my iPhone 5 and LTE speed makes all the difference.

  • Error Message - Unable to send text message!

    Hi, hope someone can help me with this.
    I have started getting this error when i send a text from PC Suite via my 7610. The text sends properly and this error shows up.
    Setup:
    Windows XP Pro - Service Pack 2
    PC Suite Version - 6.70.22
    Bluetooth connection.
    Started out of the blue with no warning.
    I have tried removing the battery from the phone and putting it back in. I uninstalled and reinstalled the suite.
    Any help Appreciated.

    i had the same problem. sending an sms with the pc suite produces the unable to send text message error. i tried removing SMSsync, PC support form the phone as described in the forum. None of this helped for me.
    eventually uninstalled pc suite from the pc. then ran the pc suite cleaner, it can be found here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,8764,75877,00.html
    reinstalled the pc suite and that solved the problems
    sms's sent via pc suite are now sending successfully

  • I have the new iPhone 6. Installed iOS 8.0.2 and still unable to send texts messages.

    I have the new iPhone 6. Updated to the iOS 8.0.2 and is still unable to send text messages

    What happens when you try to send a message? If you get an error message,
    what is the exact complete wording of that message?
    Are you using iMessage or a 3rd party app?
    Is your account properly provisioned for messaging if using other than iMessage?

  • Nokia E63 Unable to send text messages, message se...

    Hello,
    I currently have a NE63-3 phone and is currently loving it, however, two days ago, i started getting a "sending failed' error message everytime I attempt to send text messages and when I click on the details, it would say, "not enough memory, please close other applications..."  I have enough load credits to perform such activity, and i do not have any other applications running in the background, plus the phone memory is nowhere near full capacity. I have already checked the message center number and I currently have the correct settings, I have already peformed a reset but to no avail. I am able to receive text messages, able to make and receive calls, wi-fi access is okay, the only thing I cant do is send text messages...
    I know there are other e63 users out there who might have experienced the same thing, if you have the resolution or any idea how can this be resolved, please, i need your recommendations and it will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    i cleared all my phone mem txts and memory card too but msgs sending failed changed the sim card as well. but didn't work too! I can call with ma phone even can use internet but cant send txts

    My wife recently switched from an iPhone to a Samsung and she can send texts but she can't receive them nor receive emails. Her iPhone has had her info removed and the settings have all been set to default. What else does she need to do to correct this?

  • Skype was crashed and unable to send any message

    Hi,
    I was trying to send message but in the mean while it messge was unable to send any message due to its storage capacity.
    Showing error like Unable to Send any message due to its Storage message capacity.

    Hi James,
    If the setting Show Offline buddies is active in the View menu you will see all Buddies you have.
    If you mean the Video and Audio icons they mean that those buddies are busy chatting.
    The other matter may be your Quicktime setting.
    Go to System Preferneces > Quicktime > streaming tab abd set the speed in the drop down to match your download upto a max of 1.5meg.

  • Suddenly unable to send text messages. No problem receiving them

    iphone 5 with 8.1.2 version. not able to send text messages. I am able to receive them

  • Cannot receive or make call and receive or send text messages in areas where there is a high wifi signal.

    Please help me. I just got my iphone 4 last february and it was working just fine. But recently, i am having problems with its phone features such as text messaging and call. Most of he times i have a full network signal yet i cannot receive or make a call, receive or send text messages. I have also observed that everytime i am in a wifi zone where its signal strenght is high, this problem always exists. There seems to be no problem with its other features...please help me anyone.

    Wi-Fi has nothing to do with making/receiving calls, or sending/receiving text messages... those features only work over the cellular network.
    Have you contacted the carrier to rule out network issues or swap out the SIM card to eliminate that as a possibility?
    What about Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
