IMessage not working on iPhone 3gs

Hello there everybody, I have a little problem
I just decided to try iMessage today, after turning it on, entering my apple id, all set to go, but no, it doesnt work I can go into the create imessage where its blue not green and i type out the message. Then send. It says sending before failing when the bar reaches the end. The reciever does not recieve the message. Oh, I am on a Iphone 3gs 5.0.1 btw. Any help, will be muchly appreciated
(also dont u think it would be great having facetime on 3gs, and how do u create a personal hotspot on a 3gs?)
Cheers

Well, when i go to send an imessage, once i finished and push send the loading bar at the top starts moving but once near the end it freezes then after awhile says fails to send. Thats what happens. Thanks
ALso i do have a great wifi connection, it all conects to the internet

    A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.
    iOS7.0.3 will be available next week that resolves this issue.

  • Imessage not working with iphone 4

    my imessage stopped working with my iphone 4.  it was working but then i had to restore it because it got deleted by mistake.  i've since restored it twice and it's still not working

    Apps and contacts can by synced back to the device through iTunes. The backup handles different content. This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 tells you what is in the backup. If that doesn't matter to you, you can restore as a new device and see if that helps. There could be something in the backup that is creating the problem.

  • Imessage not working on iphone 4

    for some reason today, imessage stopped working on my iphone. I contacted sprint and did as they said but it still doesnt work. When i try to sign in with my apple ID it says "iMessage Activation the user name or password for "******" was incorrect. Try again."

  • IOS 7 apps not working on iPhone 3gs

    Hi,
    We have developed application supporting framework starts from 4.3, now we need update of application.
    Apple forces to mandatory to deploy new or updated applications only from ios 7 sdk and xcode 5.
    We have updated my application accordingly for ios 7 sdk in xcode 5. but when we try to test it in iphone 3gs,
    UI is not rendering properly. However in the simulator 3.5 inch screen UI rendering normally.
    I have also checked on iphone 4S and on it UI is rendering normally only.
    So please help me on how to update application for iphone 3gs.

    When you say the apps don't open, are their icons still showing, or are they gone?  And do you mean you never synced your iPhone before? 

  • 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

  • IMessage not working on iPhone 5 on Rogers

    It hasn't been working for quite some time now and it's very annoying..I live in southern Alberta in Canada and on the Rogers network using iPhone 5. Any fixes?

    I'm not sure it would be just that particular network, but iMessage uses data via the Apple servers. Go to Settings>Messages>and see if iMessage is activated. If not, turn it on and see if it activates. If it is, you might want to turn it off, wait about 30 seconds and then turn it back on and see if it activates.

  • IMessage not working on iPhone 5 iOS 7.1.1 with 3G or LTE

    iMessage has stopped working with 3G and/or LTE on my iPhone 5 after recently updating to iOS 7.1.1.  It works if I am connected to wifi and otherwise my 3G network works fine with all other apps.  I have tried reactivating iMessage, rebooting the phone by pressing power and home buttons at same time,  and have even restored my phone to the factory settings and still nothing.  Anyone have any ideas on whats up?

  • Imessage not working on iPhone

    i have mountain lion on my imac.  ican imessage my son on his mbpro and on ipad but not to his iphone4s.  HELP !

    Hi, thanks for your response.  I've just read through the kb.  Just a little more info:
    when he was at home (UK), he was merrily iMessaging from his iPhone, including to his friends in Singapore.  Now he's in US, he has acquired a T-mobile carrier service.  Since his arrival he's been unable to message.
    His phone has been on iOS5 from day 1.  I know he cannot make int. calls yet until he loads his phone.  I don't think iMessage requires this to be active - I presume it uses wifi - he has no trouble messaging with the laptop, just not his phone.  This means when he is out and about, he is unable to message home.
    Cheers
