IMessage not sending to one contact?

My iMessage has been fine for ages, and has just suddenly stopped sending to one contact in the middle of a conversation, but is still sending to other contacts. I've turned iMessage off and on, restarted my iPod and changed my wifi code but nothing has worked? Help!

I receive replies on iPhone 5 only, not on iPad which is the device causing problems for this one contact only.  The contact is using an iPhone 4, but so are other contacts with whom I have no problems. This problem started after March 17.

  • IMessage help! Not sending to one contact.

    My iMessage will not send to only one do my contacts that has iMessage. It used to work fine with this contact. It works fine for all my other contacts with iMessage capabilities. What's going on? How do I fix this?

  • IMessage not available to one contact on iPhone but works from iPad

    Hi, earlier today iMessage stopped working on my iPhone to one contact (the person I speak to the most), but is working from my iPad.  The messages I receive from him are still iMessages and neither of us have changed our settings.  From my phone I can only send him SMS.  My iPhone and iPad are running iOS 7.0.4 and his phone iOS 6.1.5.  iMessage is working on my phone to all my other contacts.  I have tried turning the phone off and on, turned iMessage off and on, deleted and re added the contact, but I'm still having the same problem.  Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
    Many thanks
    Jen

    Sorry I have also tried reset network settings, which didn't work either.
    Thanks again

    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.

  • IMessage not working with ONE contact after changing phone number

    Ok.. I changed my phone number Friday night. (same device) Once I restarted my phone and programmed it (*228) everything was working fine except one contact with iMessage. Since Friday night just one contact will only go through as SMS message. My other imessage users are all going back and forth as blue. This person I am having the problem with is also sending and receiving imessages with other contacts, just to me it is going through as text as well. Any help? I've shut iMessage off and on a bunch of times, turned the phone on and off... nothing seems to be working.. Any advice would be great!

    I have the same trouble with one of my contacts and I have been using my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd generation) for a while. I hope we can get a solution.

    There is nothing wrong with iMessage on your device.
    The issue is with your sisters device and iMessage.

  • IMessage not working on one contact

    okay, so I was trying to use iMessage with my new friend and she has an iPhone too. but when I messaged her it turned into SMS. I checked my settings and my iMessage switch is on and I tried messaging with another friend and it was completely fine. I tried everything but it keeps sending it as an SMS. I have an Iphone 5s with the software 8.1.1.  Please help.

    Can your friend message other people with iPhones without issue? If not, she needs to make sure iMessage is active on her phone.
    If she can message other iPhone users through iMessage, delete the message conversation & start a new one and see if that helps.

  • All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can i turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

  • IMessage will not send to one person...

    Ok so I have the iPod 4th generation. It is up to date but heres the problem. I am unable to send an iMessage to a person. I can type it, however, once I press send, I never get the little "delivered" note.Even restarting or resetting internet connection won't help. This is only happening to one person that I regularly message. Everyone else I can message to. The person who I am trying to message has an iPhone 4 and I'm not too sure what happened because we were just talking to each other yesterday. What is wrong? Is it long distance? Is the other person's iPhone not on or doesn't have iMessage not on? My internet connections works excellently. My iMessage is on and the Wi-Fi on my iPod is fine. Everything is in good standings, but my messages to that one person will not deliver (and give me that deliver note)

    I was having the exact same problem with just one contact. Did all the resets, etc. I am copy and pasting below what worked for me, it was SO frustrating. Good luck and I hope it works for you.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, deselect all email addresses.
    Go back one screen and turn off iMessages. Now go back a screen, and go to FaceTime, deselect all email addresses and turn off FaceTime.
    Wait 5 minutes.
    Turn on iMessages, ensuring no email addresses are selected, it should then have your mobile number ticked. Do the same for FaceTime.
    We have no idea why this works. It just does.
    I would love to know if it solves your problem!

  • IMessage photos stopped sending to one contact.

    I have an iPhone 5 and the recipient a 4.  Photos and voice recordings have been sending fine in iMessage for a while and all of a sudden in the past three days they are not sending.  Regular iMessages (without pics or voicerecordings) send fine but not with pics or recordings.  I have to send those as a text message not iMessage.
    I'm able to send pics and recordings in iMessage to other contacts just fine but not one specific contact.  This also happened to another contact a while back.  What's going on with these people?
    Thank you!
