IPhone won't send iMessage (even when signed on Wi-FI or 3G)

My iPhone won't send iMessages even when I try to connect through Wi-Fi or 3G. At first I thought it was my Wi-Fi but it wasn't since I can connect to programs such as Safari and Instagram. I have also reset my network settings. Can someone help me or have any idea how I can fix this?
Thank you!

Phone is not jailbroken.
Got it re: passcode lock.
If I do a system restore, but I restore as a new phone, will my crucial phone functionality remain intact (phone number, ability to make calls, etc.)? And when it's restored, do I then just do a sync to have all my data brought back into the device?
Sync settings for calendar and contacts are enabled properly, and are the same as they have been for years. I'm not sure it's the calendar or contact data that is corrupted (although anything is possible) because the sync problems started happening exactly when the iMessage problems started happening.
Please advise on the system restore (not from backup) and I will post my results. Just wanna make sure I'm not doing anything irreparable.
Thanks...DG

My phone won't send iMessages

My phone won't send iMessages and I'm connected to wifi and I have data. Everything is connected and set up properly with my Apple ID through my phone. What do I do? Also, I'm recieving my mothers text messages through my phone because she is using my iCloud account, how can we fix that?

Try turning it off and on again, that usually works for me.
I'm having problems with iMessage on my Mac, so there might be a problem with Apple's iMessage servers.

Ipad won't send iMessage

I just purchased the iPad Air 64GB WIFI & Sim model, & I can't get it to send or receive messages. I try sending iMessages to an iPhone 5s with iMessage turned on on both devices but keep getting the "not delivered". I'm on the data only plan so I can't make phone calls, but I should still be able to send iMessages via wifi shouldn't I? It won't do Face Time calls either. Can someone please help....

My iPhone 5c won't send iMessages, snapchats, email from the Mail app, and it won't load YouTube. Other internet apps like Pandora and Instagram work fine though. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

A couple days ago I first noticed the problem when snapchats would appear on my lock screen but when I opened the app I kept getting the error message that the app was not able to refresh my story. Then the next day I was no longer able to send iMessages, they wouldn't go through and would only reach the second party when I sent them as text messages. Also, YouTube won't load and Mail won't send or receive email. I've already tried restarting my phone but there was no change. At first I thought my network connection was the problem but Instagram, Safari, Vine and Pandora all work perfectly. Any suggestions?

Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
I would also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

My iPad mini won't send iMessages!

My messages will not send! I sent a few messages to a friend and they wouldn't send! It would say that "Not Delivered" thing next to it each time I try sending a message. Everything else on my iPad is fine, my wifi is good, and I did everything I possibly could do.
I cannot reset anything on my iPad Mini because I haven't backed up iCloud ever since August 2013 because I haven't had storage. And a album on my iPad will not delete! I cannot delete any photos in that album. I want to keep everything and I don't want anything to go away, I just want iMessage to work.
Is there a way without erasing any thing on my iPad? I'm still on iOS 7.1

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

TS2755 My iPod still isn't sending iMessages!!! I restarted it, and its software is already up to date!!!! Yes, I have wifi, but it just keeps on saying message send failure!!!!! What do I do???????? :(

I know this isn't really going to help, but if it makes u feel better, my iPod is also not sending any messages, if I were you, I would call or contact the apple company to complain. They'll do something for sure.

I know what you need to do: The same thing happened to me. So what I did was a waited a few hours. I didnt use my ipod for a few hours and it started to send messages again. The reason for this? IDK. I suspected maybe the apple compnay was fixing something on the messaged app, causing the problem. This does happen to me often, maybe once a month. I hope I helped you in some way! Sorry about the inconvenience!

My iPhone 5 won't send iMessages anymore. It only sends text messages anymore. What's going on?

I just recently got a new iPhone 5 because my old 5 completley broke for no reason and had to get a replacement from Apple. But now, I can't send or receive iMessages. Every time I try to text an iPhone user, it pops originally as it's going to send an iMessage but then it says it can't be sent and sends a text instead. It's getting real frustrating and I have reset the phone several times already, went into settings and turned iMessage on and off and done everything that I can. What else can I do? About to take it back and get an S4 when it comes out.

Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.

TS3899 My ipood touch works fine when at home and on my own wi-fi network but when abroad and using wi-fi I can only receive emails but my ipod touch won't send my messages. I am not very techy but don't know how to resolve this problem. Any advice?

Hi
I am having problems sending emails when using my ipod touch with wi-fi abroad. When at home my ipod touch receives and I can send emails through my home wi-fi system but when away and logged into other wi-fi networkcan only receive emails and not send them. Internet access is fine when abroad.
I am assuming that this is to do with the outgoing server but this is only a guess!
I am not very techy so any ideas how to resolve this problem would be gratefully received.
Thanks
KeithGH

Seems like the other networks are blocking you from sending emails.
Do yo have more that one email account on the iPod?
Have you tried sending from another account?

IPhone Won't Send iMessage Photo to One Specific Phone

My wife's phone will not send photos via iMessage to my phone. We're on the exact same wifi, exact same carrier. Everything works fine when I send her iMessages or photos via iMessage. She can send me iMessages, but when she tries to send me photos, the photo is "delivered" then about 10 seconds later it pops up "not delivered."
I've tried resetting the network settings, signing out and back in of iMessage, Facetime, and iTunes, I've tried resetting the wifi connection on both phones, I've made sure the contacts are correct in each phone.
What's happening & how do I fix this? It's only my phone. She can send photos via iMessage to all other iPhone users we know.
We both have iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1.1.

Are you using separate Apple IDs? If not, that would be a problem. iMessage will not send information to the same Apple ID on another device.

My iPhone isnt working with messages. The messages tend to get backed up and I receive them all later... The phone won't send iMessage during this time period... What do I do?

The messages in the phone don't load until hours after they're received and seem to get overloaded very easily

What would you do for transportation if you drove your car into a tree and had to wait while it was fixed? You'd need to rent, borrow or buy another car, no? The same applies to your phone. This is not Apple's problem; if the service center does not have replacements in stock for immediate swap-out, then it's up to you to provide a backup device or do without.
If you're in a country where Apple provides direct service for iPhones, you may be able to call Apple support and arrange for advance replacement, where they send you the replacement phone and then you send back the old one. Apple offers such service in several countries, though you have to pay an extra fee for the service. If not, then you'll just have to wait for the service center to get in the replacement, and will have to arrange an alternative to use during that time.
Regars.

My iPod won't send a message even though it has full wifi

My iPod touch won't send a message to all the people in my message conversations list even though I have full wifi! They have already sent a million messages to me but I can't send one back now it just says messages not delivered!

The three steady beeps indicates no ram or failed ram. Try removing and reseating the ram first. If that doesnt help take one module out and try with just the other one. Still no good, try only the other module. You'll also have to swap slots with the modules. You'll hopefully eventually isolate the problem to one module,
If after all the testing you still can't get it going you'll need to take it to your Apple Store or AASP for service as you may have a bad ram slot.

Can't send iMessages to contacts containing both an e-mail and a phone number. The phone wants to send SMS by default (iMessage is turned on)

iPhone 3GS
model: MC637C
iOS version: 5.1 (9B176)
This issue started with the last iOS update and has affected not only my phone, but my wife's and father in law's as well (we all have the exact same model)
When I attempt to send a text message to my wife, my phone suddenly won't send imessages anymore. Only text. I have tried rebooting my phone, and my wife's phone. We have even tried wiping our phones and restoring them from backups. The problem still persists, wether we are at home connected to wifi or out of the house on 3G.
The only way I have managed to send my wife an imessage was by creating a new contact with ONLY her e-mail address. That only worked once. since then, its trying to send everything as SMS again.
This is unacceptable as we live in an area with very poor celular coverage and rely heavily on wifi connections, therefore we won't receive an SMS until our phones get access to the celular network. All other apps and phone functions are working correctly across all 3 phones mentioned.
On both my phone, and my wife's, I have double checked to ensure that iMessage is still turned on. I suspect that this is a global software issue seeing as it only started once we updated our phones to the latest iOS. My question is this:
Are we doing something wrong?
Prior to the update, we were all able to send iMessages to eachother, regardless of where we were. The only time we'd have an issue is if someone's phone was turned off or not connected to either the celular 3G network or a wifi with internet access (which is natural).

You may want to turn iMessage off, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on on each of these phones (to re-register the phone numbers with the iMessage server). Also confirm that you have the correct date, time and time zone on each of the phones (in case a recent change to DST resulted in incorrect setttings on your phones). There are more troubleshooting steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755.
