Is it free to send an iMessage to someone in America?
Is it free to send an iMessage to someone in America?
Yes, just beware as mentioned, iMessage ONLY works between iOS 5 devices. Depending on your message settings, if the recipient is not using an Apple device with iOS 5, the message may be automatically sent anyway, but as a regular text message (which may cost you money or count against a message quota, if you have one).
Also, unless you are on free wifi, it may cost you cellular data on your plan.

Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first?
Why can't I send an iMessage to someone from my iPad unless they message me first? Even if it is someone I have chatted with on iMessage before, if they have been cleared off my screen, I can't send them anything unless they message me first. I know for a fact they have an up to date iPhone.
OK.
Turn off and on (restart) your iOS device (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds, then slide the slider.)
If restarting doesn’t fix it:
It has been reported that changing your DNS settings fixes this issue. To change DNS servers, follow these instructions for iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad):
Tap Settings
Tap Wi-Fi on the left-hand side
Tap the blue arrow next to your current Wi-Fi network
Tap the “DNS” field and enter the DNS servers; 8.8.8.8
Now see if it is working. -
Whenever i try and send an imessage to someone that has an iphone it gets stuck at times and won't go through. I then have to send it as a basic text and then it will respond message failed to send what should i do when it does this i need help
The use of iMessage depends on both the sender and the receiver having an active data connection. If either of the two connections are interrupted, the message can fail. The sending of an iMessage differs from the sending of an SMS, and if you are having SMS failures, that would be a carrier concern.

I have iPhone 5 on Sprint. My husband is also on Sprint and my iMessage to him seems to work whenever it wants. I can iMessage to friends who have Verizon at the exact same time I am trying to iMessage my husband and the iMessages will go to and from the Verizon friends just fine, but not to my husband. With him its not even pretending to send our messages as iMessages. The send bar isn't even blue to him. To me this seems like an issue with the Sprint Network, but I wanted to see if anyone had had the same/simmilar issues and it ended up being the phone.
I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data? Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text. Does your husband receive your imessage as a text? -

How do I stop other devices on my network from recieving my IMessage?
I send a friend an iMessage and other people on my network get to see the conversatiom.Are you sending a group MMS? If so that is why. Also if others are using the same apple id as you then they will see all your imessage texts. You need to change your apple id on you device.

Imessage doesnt send imessages to someone with ios5, only sms texts
When I try sending an iMessage to someone with iOS 5, they don't receive it. When they send it to me, I receive it as an SMS text. I tried sending to another iPhone and iMessage worked, as did SMS text with a non-iPhone. Why is this happening? It's really frustrating and I don't know what to do to fix it.
Hi, I have a very easy solution. It took me only 3 seconds. Go to Settings>messages, activate iMessage and deactivate sms. Next time you send a text, it will automatically send as iMessage!

Why does my email appear when i send an imessage?
When I send an iMessage to someone else with an iPhone, it comes up as my email instead of my cell phone number. I haved looked all over the internet and I have also been on the phone with Tech Support for over an hour. But then he was gone all of the sudden? Does anyone know how to make my number show up instead of my email?
Yeah send it from your phone.
Your computer has no knowledge of your phones phone number, it is not a phone. -
