IMessage won't deliver

I've been imessaging with my friend in scotland for the past three months with no issue.  Today, it so happens that he can only send me imessages (which i recieve as normal) but i can no longer respond.  we are both on 3G/internet. And I am still able to imessage (both send and recieve) with all of my other friends.  any idea as to what's going on?

Have that person check to see if they have your number blocked.

  • Imessages won't deliver after cell number change

    My husband and I recently changed our cell phone numbers, and now imessages won't deliver between us.  We both have iphone 4, ios5.1, and we had no issues at all until we changed numbers.  We share an apple id, so I've already deleted the id from my phone under Settings/messages/receive at so that it only shows my cell number.  But I still cannot send an imessage to him.  I can send imessages to other friends with iphones, but not his for some reason.  any ideas??

    I'm having a similar issue with my iPhone 5. A friend of mine is using his iPod to text me and using his email address and my phone was fine three hours ago (at 3:00pm central time), but now it won't send any of my iMessages... I've signed out of my Apple ID and made sure Facetime was enabled... and it won't send!

  • IMessages won't deliver to one specific contact

    Hi there,
    I'm having problems with iMessage on my iPhone 4S.
    I'm trying to send iMessages to one specific contact - the messages are sending (the progress bar at the top of the messages app completes), but the 'Delivered' notification never comes through. It's most strange, as I was iMessaging this person yesterday without any problems - it's only been a problem since this morning.
    I can send/receive iMessages to other contacts without any problems as well, which makes this case even stranger.
    I've tried a few suggestions to fix the problem, but so far none of them have worked.
    I've turned the phone off and on again multiple times, I've reset my network settings, I've deleted the message thread with this particular contact and started a new one, I've deleted and re-added the contact, and I have turned iMessage off and back on. Nothing has fixed this.
    It's not a major problem, but I have to hold down each message and send as a text to this one contact.
    I'm not on a contract, don't have phone credit and will run out of free texts soon, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions, bar restoring my phone to factory settings - don't really want to go through the effort of putting 13GB of music, photos etc back onto it.
    Thanks for your time.

    if ur able to message everyone else just fine, AND u have already deleted that person as a contact and restarted the thread with them, then its not ur phone at all. its theirs. and they need to troubleshoot y they are not receiving imessages.

  • Push notifications and iMessage won't work on iPod 4th gen refurbished after updating to last ear iOS

    My iPod has been working well for a while other than the battery draining very quickly. But just today I updated to iOS 6.1.3 and all of a sudden iMessage won't deliver the messages and my push notifications aren't showing up! I don't know what is making this happen, but this along with the battery issue is driving me crazy!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Try turning off the following to conserve battery:
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
    Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

  • Won't Deliver messages through iMessage

    Just recently, the messaging function on my 4th generation iPod Touch began to stop working on occasion. I would be in the middle of a messaging conversation and all of a sudden, my message would not deliver. The message will Send all the way, but the notification that it has been "Delivered" will not drop down to my latest message. The only thing that works is if the other person starts to type, my messages will be forced through. The funny thing is that the messaging will be going fine, and then without moving around or disconnecting from wifi or changing settings or anything like that, my messages just won't Deliver. I have had my iTouch for 8 months now and this problem has never lasted more than an hour or two; not it has been going on for 3 days. I only message one person and neither of us have had this problem before, we didnt recently update our iPods. messaging back and forth has been fine for the last 5 since she got her iPhone 4 but now we cannot figure out what to do.
    I have done the usual troubleshoot solutions. I have changed my wifi, turned my iTouch off and back on, changed the DNS settings, turned iMessaging off and on, I never get the little ! Not Delivered sign. All the messaging will be fine for 10 minutes and then spotty for hours and then fine for another 15 minutes. Is there anything else I can do?

    Does this happen no matter what Wi-Fi network you are connected to? If you aren't sure, I would test this out on other available Wi-Fi network to see if the problem can be isolated to a particular network or if it's just an issue with the iPod Touch itself.
    I noticed a similar thing on my iPhone 4 at time, but the messages still go through even though the screen hasn't given me the delivered message.

  • My iMessage won't send pictures or videos to one of my contacts.

    My iMessage won't send pictures or videos to one of my contacts. Can someone please help? I've already turned my device on and off, but it still won't work. It happened after the last update.. when I send a picture or video,  it would show as sent, but then have the red exclamation icon and say message not delivered. I would try and deliver multiple times but it just won't work.

    It depends if the contact is not an apple product it will not work at all ..iMessage is only used for apple products.Just check.Well you should know if the contact is an apple user or not so yeah thats all really.But if it's it that important f.of a pic download a texting app it helps alot.

  • IMessage won't switch to "on."

    My iMessage won't switch to "on." When I press the button to switch it on, it immediately switches back to "off." I am connected to WiFi but do not currently have the SIM card in because I am in another country. I am using the iPhone like an iPod Touch. I have an iPhone 3GS. How do I fix this problem? I've restarted it, restored it, everything...

    I got my iMessage to switch on, by completely resotring it on Itunes. I tried everything but I can;t get iMessage to work. Like its activated but the msgs just wont deliver. I'm currently overseas now, in UAE. The thing is, when I go to iMessage and click on my Apple ID it shows the iMessage Account. And then I went to change location, it shows you a list of countries. I cant find UAE!! So I think the country as a whole blocked it. Like they once blocked BBM for blackberry (They finally allowed it) but I think its the same with iMessage. Absolutely ridiculous.
