Imessage wont send but will recieve

My friend recently changed their blackberry to an iphone 5c and kept the same number. Imessages will send from their iphone to me, but my iphone 5 wont send them to their phone. I tried sending an imessage from my mac to my friends phone and it works and same from my ipad, its just my phone that wont send them, it just sends them as a normal SMS message. Anyone know how to help??

According to your explanation the problem is with your iPhone settings.
Turn Off iMessage and then go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Once the iPhone restarts enable the iMessage again.(Your Carrier will charge you one time activation Fee for the imessage activation. )

  • My imessages wont send to one person

    i got the ios7 update when it came out, but two days i was texting this one contact in my phone and my imessages wont send it says in red letters not delivered. i have been imessaging this person for over a year and ive never had this problem.
    when i imessage other people it works.
    the person i am imessaging says he has the same problem when he imessages me. i have tryed turning off imessage reset network and turning off my phone and it still wont work, its been happeningfor 2 days now. please help

    This has never happened to me.  However, perhaps you're not following the right sequence of actions.  There are several ways to do this.  Here's one:
    1) Open up the phone application on your iPhone (it's the green icon at the bottom with the symbol of a phone), and select the person in the book you want to send the message to.
    2) Tap on the cloud symbol to the right of their cell phone number.  That brings up a screen with a "To" box at the top of the screen with the person's name.  Below is a blank field and below that a "Text Message" window.
    3) Tap your finger inside that "text message" window; make sure that now the blinking blue vertical line is inside the "Text Message" window. 
    4) Then type in your text message and when you're done tap on "Send" at the right.
    Hopefully this will work for you!!!

    i can listen to music but my silent switch wont work my phone wont vibrate but will ring, and the volume buttons wont work the speaker will work asweell

    Have you done a restore of the phone to see if that fixed the problem with the speaker? If that doesnt help then you probably damaged something inside the phone when you dropped it.
    If you're annoyed by the problem, you can always get a replacement phone

  • Imessage wont send pics but can send texts

    i message wont send any pics but if i turn off imessage and send it as regular text it works but as soon as i turn imessage back on it wont send any pics to anyone i send it to.  It says that it is delivered but they never get it   any help please

    I'm having the same problem too... Also when I try to send a message it doesn't go through, it says "Not Delivered" in red underneath the message. Also receiving messages is sometimes affected because my friend sent me an iMessage at 10am and I only received it at 11:46am.
    I have a 4S and recently upgraded to iOS6. Is this something Apple is fixing? I tried searching for a solution or announcement of some kind but came up with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • TS2755 Iphone 4s on iso7 will not send text msg overseas but will recieve

    Iphone 4s will not text overseas mobile but will receive from same contact.

    So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon.

  • My imessage wont send or deliver photos or videos?

    I can send messages prefectly fine, but when i want to send a video or picture it will say "sending" for an hour!! Iv retried but it wont send!! It dosnt say anything like not delivered it just says sending on the little bar at the top ???

    If it is a video or picture with more megabytes it takes a while to do.
    Maybe reset it by holding power and home until apple logo appears then let it go. Then send it again.

  • Mail sends but will not receive gmail

    I just upgraded to a new iMac and transferred all my data via Time Machine.  My mail app will send emails but not recieve them.  yesterday after reading on here that making a new account, I could fix this, I found that I I now cannot see any of my past received emails.  That's very troubling. 
    Anyway, any ideas on why mail would send but not receive gmail? 
    Thanks!

    What do you see for that account if you invoke Mail's menu option Window > Connection Doctor?
    Pay particular attention to the settings under the "Advanced" tab for that account in the Mail preference "Accounts" panel.

  • Imessage wont send unless i add email in a seperate contact

    i have just updated mine and the hubbys iphone 4 and mine works fine i can send imessages to family without any hiccups just by goin into my contacts findin them and sendin a txt as you normally wud except it says now imessage... but when i try and send to my hubby it says normal text message yet hes got the new software??? so i tryed his phone to text my cousin and it worked for imessage it just wont send to me unless i type my email in his phone and then it wil send as an imessage but then he has 2 boxes of messages from me 1 normal green tetxs and 1 imessage box in his messages when mine are all under the same messages he text me yesterday and when i replied testing earlier mine was sent in the same message list bit confusin to explain lol its very strange his is playing up yet works to everyone else and my family  just by using there numbers he has in his contacts already not emial as i dont have there emails yet he has to have my email to allow it to work??? any ideas???

    about 10 minutes ago, we tested out if he was able to send to me, he was able to and i was able to send back.. to be honest, its pretty frustrating as to why this was such an issue for me and not for him, and was fixed with a single imessage from him (that up to 10 minutes ago was not accessible to me because he was not "registered"). Anyways everything is fine now. thank you!

  • Mail Programe acn send but not recieve!!?

    HI People!
    After a power faliure last week our mail programme will now only send emails & not recieve. We are using Mac OSX Tiger Mail Programme. Anyone have any bright ideas.
    We have not changed the configuration of the machine or installed any new programmes. The activity viewer can see our mail waiting but will freeze when trying to download the mail. Could the programe have corrupted when we were hit by the power cut??

  • Imessage wont send or receive photos

    imessage is sending and receiving texts but not photos. What's the solution please.  I've checked updates, settings, etc. and can't seem to correct this?  Any suggestions!

    Sim[ple stuff first:
    1. Does your carrier support MMS (text messages with photos)
    2. You said you checked Settings but didn't tell us which ones. Is MMS turned on?
    If the above answers are "Yes" for both, the next thing I would try is a reset of the phone. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Imessage wont send

    i try to send a message through imeassage and it wont send. What is the problem?

    Do they have iMessage turned on?
    Can they send messages to you via iMessage?
    It's a simple setup issue... either they do not have iMessage turned on or something in the contact information on your device is not correct.

  • Changed my iTunes password, not iMessage wont send or receive SMS

    Hi! Like the title says, I had to change my iTunes password and now iMessage on my macbook wont send or receive SMS messages when it did previously.  I have enabled messaging and FaceTime.  I've restarted all devices (iphone5s, iPad mini, and MacBook Pro) and updated iCloud and all passwords.  Everything else appears to have connected smoothly, except for this.   Any ideas how I can fix this? 
    Thanks in advance!
