IPhone 6 iOS 8 iMessage not working
I just purchased a brand new iPhone today and I set up my iCloud and iMessage but when I try to send a message, the text bubble still turns up green. I have a secure Wifi contecttion and I am messaging with someone who has their iMessaging turned on as well. I tried to reset the network, reset all settings, turn iMessage on and off, restart the phone. Nothing is working. It says that iMessage is turned on but the text bubbles are still green.
All I can say is that ATT is working but my wife and I did get a few green messages first. Try this thread and see if it helps. Green messages
Good luck.

Hello ivanwutw,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It's not exactly clear what the issue is here with your AirPort Express or Extreme, but if you cannot connect to Wi-Fi on your iPhone, please follow the directions in the article below.

IOS 6: iMessage not working (iPad 2)
So I updated to iOS 6 (why on earth it needed 2.1 GB of free space I'll never know) this past Thursday. At first, I was really impressed.
A promising future. Then things started to go downhill.
I had to send a message (whenever I refer to a message, I mean through iMessage) to a friend about an assignment that our professor had given us. Well I made the text and went on to use something else. Only hours later, when I didn't get a response, did I see that it failed. I tried again and again for an hour and it did not work. And yes, I turned iMessage on and off, quit the application many times, and turned my iPad on and off. It wasn't the Internet connection, the connection was really good. So I have no idea what's going on.
However, my iPhone 3GS has not had any problems with iMessage. It's on iOS 5. (I haven't updated it to 6 b/c it requires 2.2 GB of free space, as if I had that, and when I connected my iPad 2 to my computer, it won't sync. My computer is running on 10.5.8. So I can't get the latest iTunes, and therefore cannot sync my iPad).
So has anyone found any way of fixing this? Apple needs to go back to the drawing board and figure out how to fix this.
And then give everyone who updated a complimentary something and an update to fix the problem.
I'm so glad I didn't buy the new iPhone 5. Wouldn't want that problem.I would do as what Diavovex suggested:
Settings >>> General >>> Reset >>> Reset all Settings.
Once you have completed this, ipad will reboot, connect again to your Wi-Fi and then try to Reset imessage again. Just make sure your Apple ID and password are ok ...... try log in to Apple Store and if this is not an issue then I don't see why imessage cannot connect?

IPhone 4S - iOS 6 MMS not working
I have recently updated to iOS 6.0....doing this caused my MMS messaging to stop working. I cannot send or receive pictures via text message. However, I can send/receive pictures via iMessage. MMS via regular text messaging is a MUST-HAVE for me for work...Is there any way to fix this or will it be fixed with iOS 6.0.1? If so, when will 6.0.1 be released?
After looking at my original post, I realize that I have neglected to mention something important...and would like to apologize to those who have offered their help. I am using my iPhone 4S with Straight Talk. I thought I had mentioned this in my original post, again...I apologize for misleading/misinforming you all. I know that this probably has something to do with the MMS issue, but I still posted here bc I'm not the only person using their iPhone with Straight Talk's service and assumed there were others out there scratching their heads with the same trouble.
Thanks again for each of your suggestions...they are much appreciated. -

IPHONE 6 - IOS 8 - ICLOUD NOT WORKING
Hi guys,
i just bought the iphone 6, tried to set it up the normal way, just like we all do.
Could not log in to my iCloud account..... so i had to skip that first. All set, dit id through my mac, restored my back up, voila, all fine.
Then i went to my iCloud account in settings, could not log in through wifi (SEEMS TO WORK THROUGH 4G ONLY?). So, none of my iCloud contacts went on my phone, i just can't use iCloud.. my entire iphone freezes when i use iclous over wifi. When i try to log in; VERIFICATION FAILED, The connection to iCloud timed out."
so here i am... how do i fix this..
maybe cause i live the netherlands, and apple releases the phone here in a couple of days... but then i have the same problem on my iphone 5s......................
HELP ME PLEASEI suggest you contact Apple Support.

IMessage not working on iOS 7 with iPhone 4s
Since I've upgraded to iOS 7, iMessage never worked again on my iPhone 4S... I tried to fix it deactivating iMessage and then by resetting network settings, but it didn't work.
Type those characters on the phone keyboard, then press the green "Dial" button on the bottom of the keyboard.

IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls
iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......
You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router. If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone. All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers. I run my own for example for caching purposes. -
After upgrading iOS 7 on my iPhone 5, the wifi is not working . It cannot detect any wifi nor am I able to enable wifi under settings. Is there a way for me to fix this?
Hi samer almasri,
If you are having issues with enabling Wifi on your iPhone you may want to try a couple of things to troubleshoot. First of all I would quit all open applications on the phone and try again. See this previous thread for how -

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
