Hello GilbertN,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are unable to send a message to any of your contacts, then the issue is likely on your iPhone, and you will need to follow the troubleshooting in the article below. If your friend's phone is unable to receive any iMessages, then please have her follow the troubleshooting.

Take care,

IMessage not working even after 'fix'
My iMessage on my iPhone 4 is not working. Phone is updated to most recent update. Sends iMessages to some people but not others and the people who I cannot send to also can't send to me, regardless of being on wifi or mobile network. I have tried the turn off imessage, reset network settings etc but still no improvement. Would be very helpful if anyone could give me some advice?
Macrumors posted a solution for this. I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
Here's what they said:
1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

IMessage not working with some contacts
I have ipad2, iMessage not working with contacts except between my son and my iPad. Get a red exclamation mark and send button is greyed out. Have rebooted, reactivated apple id and email address. Running latest software. Can anyone help please.
Imessage only works to other folks who have a device on ios5, and who have activated i message. In their set up, theyndeclared one or more specific 'receive at' addresses. Are the folks you are trying to reach on apple devices with i mesage? The red exclamation means, i think, that the apple server did not find that address as registered.

Hey Mgpr,
There's an article that helps with troubleshooting steps for issues activating iMessage that I think is worth a look. See if any of the suggested steps work for you:

Imessage not working on my iphone4s

Imessage not working propierly, doesnt show read below the message.
imessage not working propierly, when I send a message its says delivered but when people read them I never get the read receipt below the message, i have the 4 gen ipod, please help!
Here's how I fixed the issue.
I did an iCloud backup
Did a full reset
Restored backup and guess what.... it didn't fix the problem.
However.... here is what did fix the problem
I went into Settings --> Messages
Listed under the "Send & Receive" button it only showed one address listed.
On the 'You can be reached by iMessage at' it only had my email address there with a check mark. My phone number was unchecked but i couldn't check it for some reason. So what I did was click on my Apple ID at the Top and choose view account. Entered in my password and that made the phone number show as checked. Then I started getting iMessages on my iPhone again. If that doesn't work. Click on Apple ID at the top and choose LOCATION -

After upgrading to iOS 5 I cannot enter to mail (outlook exchange ),contact did not open, general settings - mail contact did not work.help me
Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1). -

Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help
It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
BY THE WAY, KARLI--
PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion. -

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number
Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message
Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
