Imessage not working between two iPhones

We just got our son an Iphone 5C for christmas!  iMessage works just fine between his phone, his mother and brothers iPhones but not with my iPhone. He can send me an iMessage which I can recieve just fine but any reply I make to him is showing as a "green" (SMS) text. This is only happening with his phone and mine, any other texts I send to my wife or other son go thru as "blues". All phones are properly registered with apple with their own IDs and are all up to date with iOS 7.0.4
Thoughts? Ideas? suggestions?

I've searched the forums and it looks like there has been several reports but couldnt find any tricks that work.. tried disable and enable imessages but still didnt

  • IMessage not working between my iPhone and friend

    I composed an iMessage to a friend. We've texted before so I know iMessage should be working as all previous texts have been in iMessage "blue". Today, in this latest message, I was waiting for the screen to turn blue as I was composing but it never changed. I have an iPhone with IOS5 and my friend has the same. The text was sent in "green" as a text. It never changed to "blue". I had my friend check her settings and her iMessage menu was "on". So I'm wondering why this situation has changed for us. Cost me $.20 with ATT b/c I dropped my 200 msg plan!

    This is absolutely NOT true.
    iMessage works over a data connection. Either WiFi or cellular data. If there is a problem delivering the message for some reason, if one or both of you are out of contact with both WiFi and the cellular data network (if you're in a dead zone for example) or in the case of another problem on the Internet that prevents the message from being delivered, it will automatically fall back and send it as SMS.
    Cancelling the messaging plan was probably not a wise move. Unless you have SMS blocked entirely on your account, which I believe you can do with AT&T smart limits for $4.95 a month, there is no way to completely prevent iMessage from sending (or receiving) an SMS message.  Your only option now is the $20 monthly messaging plan.

  • IMessage not working on my iphone 4S after update to ios6

    I can't seem to get iMessage to work on my iPhone 4S 16GB after the update. Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

    I have found that I turn imessage back on and a few days later it turns itself back off so I have to go in and turn it back on again..........very annoying. I am having a lot of problems with 4GS sms and imessaging, and very slow sending texts since upgrade to IOS6 upgrade.

  • IMessage not working between iPhone 4 and iPhone 5?

    Hi,
    Three friends of mine have recently upgraded to the iPhone 5. I'm still on iPhone 4.
    Since the switch over, iMessage has stopped working  between my phone, the iPhone 4 and their's, the iPhone 5.
    iMessage still works to my other friends on their iPhone 4's....
    Can someone explain/help fix this please? We all live & work in bad reception areas in the countryside so having iMessage work to send messages over wifi is super important!
    Thanks so much,
    Jen

  • Mail in Mavericks not working between two macs.

    Hello all
    I have a 2012 iMac as well as a 2009 MacBook Pro. I am running Mavericks on both machines. I'm having issues with my exchange e-mail contacts and calendar, syncing between the two devices. I will get it to work on one device or the other but not both at the same time. More specifically in mail when it is working on one computer and I go to check my mail on the other it asks me to put in my password for that e-mail account. Every time I do this it does not work and it always returns an error. If I go to delete an account on either computer it tells me the account is linked to "Internet account" under settings for the computer. When I delete the exchange account from "Internet account" it warns me that it will delete the account off of both macs. When I re-add the exchange account mail, contacts and calander all work for whichever computer I add it on. But the other computer will only show calander or contacts not all three.
    Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong or have a solution? This is very frustrating and I cant seem to find a solution.

    Hi,
    Those last two I do not have on my iMac that is working and part of the issue I have in testing is I don't have a second Mac that will run Yosemite.
    Realistically it could be any of the ones that contain com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.private.alloy.***.plist
    The plain SMS.plist  only states it has been started up not what the Mac is linked to.
    Unfortunately nothing is standing out as the Specific one for me at the moment.

  • IMessage not working with another iPhone

    Here's the scoop; I have an iPhone.
    My boyfriend used to have an iPhone. iMessage wasn't a problem at all.
    A few months ago, my boyfriend switched to android and obviously iMessage was no longer compatible. I had the same issue that everyone gets when their friend or even themselves switch over to an android from iPhone when it comes to iMessaging.. sometimes the messages won't send. I had that issue for a while until I finally figured it out. I messed around with my phone a little bit, I turned off iMessage, I changed in his contact the "iphone" setting to "mobile" for his phone number. I turned off my phone and turned it back on. I did it all. That problem was resolved, after my iPhone was constantly sending his android iMessages. Solved, done, cool- I was content.
    But now, my boyfriend switched back to his iPhone from an android. I figured our iMessaging would be no problem now, because lets be honest, us iPhone users all hate those green text bubbles. But everytime I text him now, I GET THE GREEN TEXT BUBBLES. Our iMessage isn't working. I looked up this question in multitude of ways: wording it differently, looking up different things, trying out some solutions people have come up with.
    I don't want to hear these answers, because I've tried them all. More than once.
    1. Resetting my Network Settings.
    2. Making sure my Apple I.D is checked on the Send & Recieve screen.
    3. In contacts, switching the "moble" to "iPhone" back on his contact.
    4. Restarting my phone.
    5. Turning on and off my iMessage.
    6. Even turning on and off my SMS, just to see if it would work.
    Nothing. All of it, nothing. I'm stumped. We haven't tried from his end to do more things like I did, yet. But he has done the following: #4 and #5.
    Help and an answer would be nice.
    Thanks!

    I'd like to add that my iMessaging is only not working for him. I can send iMessages to everyone else, except him.

  • IMessage not working on "decommissioned" iPhone 4

    I purchased an iPhone 5 yesterday, and my trusty iPhone 4 has been demoted to home use. Without a wireless carrier, I assumed that an iPhone simply becomes an iPod Touch and everything but phone service would work. Using my home Wifi I can browse the web, send emails - but iMessage doesn't work anymore, though it worked perfectly when it had a carrier. I went into the Messages prefs under General, and under iMessage it says "Waiting for activation..."
    How can I get iMessage to work on this phone?

    Let me add... this is a Verizon iPhone 4, not AT&T. There is no SIM card slot, so how do I activate this thing?

  • Shared variable does not work between two computers

    I am using LabVIEW 8 on Windows XP computers.
    1. On one computer I have created two projects, writeProject and readProject.
    2.  In the writeProject I have a shared variable, writeData, which is "network-published" double. In this project I have a writeData.vi which in while loop assigns a random value to the writeData variable.
    3. In the readProject I have a shared variable, readData, which is "network-published" double and is bound to the writeData variable.  This is on the same computer as the writeProject.
    4. I run both the writeData.vi and the readData.vi and all works fine.
    5. Now, I create a readProject on a diferent computer.  Perform all the steps as described above and also in tools/shared variable/register computer, I have entered the IP address of the target computer on which the writeData shared variable exists.
    6. Binding the readData variable fails in the following way.  When I browse for the source, in the "Select Source Item" dialog, I see <IP> <Populating Node...>, where <IP> is the IP address of the source computer (on which exists the writeData shared variable).  A very long time later it is still "Populating Node...".  Neddless to say, this readData.vi does not work!
    What am I doing wrong?  Or, perhapse what else do I need to do to make it work?

  • Why does iMessage not work on my iPhone but it works on my iPad?

    I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1 and an iPad 1 with the same iOS version. I am traveling abroad so I am running in Airplane mode on WiFi on both. I have been using iMessage to keep in touch back home until two weeks ago it became almost useless on my iPhone. iMessage continues to work perfectly on my iPad. The settings are nearly identical minus my cellphone number not included in my iPad. I find that I have to close out of messages, double tap home, press and hold the messages app, and then close it for it to work intermittently. I have exhausted all of my ideas and can not find anyone with the same problem. I have restarted my iPhone several times. I have reset my iPhones settings. I have reset my iPhone entirely. None of these seemed to work. Any ideas?

    Many are experiencing this issue right now.  A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.
    Let Apple know about the issue/bug here:  http://www.apple.com/feedback
