Imessage stops working on iPhone but works on iPad

Hi there!
My imessage will be working perfectly fine on my iPad and iPhone and then suddenly it will stop working on my iPhone but work on the iPad.
Over tried restarting my iPhone and the internet connection is fine as all other apps work fine on the iPhone.
And after 5 hours or so, my iPhone will have imessage working again?!
This keeps happening!
Please help!!!

Go into MESSAGES under SETTINGS on each device and sign out of the account then sign back in.  I've had some difficulty particular after upgrading to IOS 8 and signing out and back into the account has fixed it.
You may have tried this already but wanted to mention it.

    My iMessage stopped working when I did the latest update on my phone. I have literally tried everything to reset it. I am currently not in the US, but my iMessage has always worked when I was in wifi and my phone is still activated. I have tried to reset my network settings, my location, and even the reset all settings. When I click on my settings and iMessage it says that it is still waiting for activation... and my phone number is grayed out. I am able to recieve an iMessage to my email and that could work for right now but i'm not sure how to start a conversation the defaults to being sent from my email and not my cell phone number. please help!

    Hi shanny202.
    Really strange problem you have there. I have a few questions though.
    Please try again and try to make the phone as a new without restoringen with you iCloud-data or backup-data from iTunes. Maybe it is something wrong with the data (strange).
    Anyway, i think you should call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store, don't forgot to make a Genius Bar reservation.

  • IMessage stops working after updating to ios 7

    i have an iphone 4s and after updating to ios 7 imessage stopped working. i tried to activate it and it just doesn't. i tried to restore it and use a backup and it's still not working

    I have the exact same problem that you have described. I have tried all the "fixes" that have been suggested and not a single one has worked.
    Apparently we are part of a small** percentage of Apple users that have been affected.
    Small to Apple is over 2 million people.
    You would think that for such a large company who has had mutiple iOS update problems in the past ( The iOS 5 update bricked my phone ) they would have these issues resolved by now.
    It's been 2 weeks and there are multiple contacts that I cannot text or they can't reply to me.
    It is very frustrating!
    It seems the only solution right now is to do a complete factory reset of the phone, but even then it could take up to 24 hours for your iMessage to verify, if it infact works.
    I am very disappounted in Apple and the service they have "provided" to solve this issue.
    Perhaps next time they do an update they should restrict who can dowload it and when to avoid bogging down the servers and causing issued.
    As perviously noted though this issue only affect a **small** percentage of Apple users, so I am sure they are in no hurry to fix this issue, after all it's been 2 weeks and even with the iOS 7.0.2 update the problem STILL isn't resolved.

  • IMessage stopped working on iOS 5.1.1 after I set up a new Apple ID.  After logging in, it keeps cycling back to the "create ID" screen.  Apple's verified my new ID. I've reset the iPod (3) times--no luck.

    I solved my problem by Resetting my iPod and then Restoring my files.  Only speed bump was losing two apps in the Restore, as the current versions now require iOS 7.1, minimum.  Apple makes Reset and Restore (two processes) painless with these Help articles:  "Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings," and "Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch using iCloud or iTunes."  The Restore took a while to synch my photos and iTunes libraries.

    Try that. If it still does not work, try calling Apple.

    Ok actually my mistake it says "an error occurred during activation. try again" I spoke with apple tech support right now and she mentioned they are having trouble with there servers.  Do you by any chance know what the restrictions area means? Should that be activated or deactivated, does that make a difference?

  • Why has iMessage stopped working?

    My iMessage stops working for a while and then comes back on, any ideas pls?

    It all depends on if you have internet connection available. Plus if your recipient hasn't got internet connectivity at the time you send the message it will revert to SMS

  • TS2755 My iMessages stopped working

    My iMessages stopped working two days ago. When I tried to reactivate my iMessage, it gives error message "could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again". I followed your support instructtions, and still could not solve the problem

    You should check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268 if you haven't already. It deals with activation issues while TS2755 deals primarily with being able to use the service once it's activated.
    This issue is almost always network-related. As indicated by the error message. Make sure you have your cellular data turned on and you are able to send and receive reguar text messages. You need this ability to activate iMessage. Or make sure you have Wi-Fi as well as the ability to send and receive SMS.
    Also make sure your date and time settings are correct for your time zone in Settings > General > Date & Time. If those have been changed, that may prevent activation.
    Also make sure you're on iOS 7.1.1.
    Also, keep in mind that this support forum isn't run by Apple employees. If you need them, you can call or chat them.

  • Imessage not working, both ipad and iphone

    I've been using imessage for the last few weeks, and suddenly a few days ago i stopped being able to send texts as imessage. aswell, i stopped recieving messages that were sent to me using imessage (they just dissapear into cyberspace). this problem is not just on my iphone, but on my ipad too. im wondering if it has something to do with a problem with my apple id. i can still facetime from both devices.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    first, turn off Send As SMS. This will ensure that your iMessage will only get through as an iMessage over Wi-Fi and not as a regular SMS charged by your carrier.
    And ask someone to send you iMessages on your iPhone. Don't use your iPad. Let's try to isolate the problem. You can do further reading about iMessage activation in here: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-activate-imessage-in-iphone-4s.h tml

    Hi,
    Is there an iPhone involved ?
    If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
    What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
    Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?
