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!

Outlook/Exchange Won't Deliver Duplicate Messages

For testing purposes, I often send multiple automated messages to myself that are identical and it seems that Outlook/Exchange is being "smart" by not delivering subsequent messages that are the same.
Does anyone know is this is the case? If so, can I turn this functionality off?

Hi David,
Great information from Andy.
It still working in Exchange 2013.
More details in the following article:

IMessage getting "Not Delivered" error, Message Send Failure

I upgraded to ios5 on my 3GS last night, seemed to have no problems, no errors. When I try sending a text another iphone users, it defaults to sending an iMessage, but then says "Not Delivered" in red, with a red exclamation point next to it. My daughter, on the same network and same house can send imessages to me, but I do not receive them.
In my settings, I've tried turning iMessage on and off, tried setting "Send As SMS" both on and off, no changes. "Receive At" has my phone number, and my apple id email address. I've tried restoring and reinstalling ios, restarting the phone numerous times, nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nancy

I'm in the same boat with my new 4S. I installed 5.0.1 last night and it was working fine until this morning. When I woke up, I tried to send a text message with no luck. iMessage works fine, and I can RECIEVE text messages. Just no dice on sending any. At all.

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.

My IMessage won't keep prior messages.

I Have an IPAD! An IOS 7.2, and love it. I have read through the Apple IPAD manual and cannot find anything on how to save IMessages. It isn't doing it automatically. I read the Search instructions, but nothing. What am I doing wrong? PLEASE HELP, AS THERE ARE MESSAGES I would like to retrieve and can't, plus not saving except one recently. Thank you.

I Have messages that are over 6 months old. As far as I know, the Messages will stay in the list as long as you don't delete them on your own. There is no setting that you have to enable to ensure that messages are saved. Did you swipe to the top of the list in the messages app and tap on Load More Messages?

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.

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.

Queue freezing won't deliver messages to mailboxes

Every now and again my queue seems to build up and won't deliver until I stop and start mail services then flush the queue.
Here is my log, It seems to start filling up right after it refreshed the postfix mail system. I then continually get the message that it was skipped, and will still be delivered. But the messages are not being delivered and people sending messages are getting bounce messages. I've pasted the bounce message below the log.

I'm thinking that this could happen soon after I send out a mass email(50-300 users at once) to one of my postfix email groups. It isn't consistent, because it could happen a few minutes after I send one of those mass mailings, but then it doesn't do it all sometimes either.....
Logs aren't giving me anything other than it will say for the first message that won't deliver (queue active) like seen below. This is everything in the log from a message that would deliver to a message that wouldn't.

IMessage won't work and no notifications at all for any messages please help

iMessage won't work I know there is a problem but now I'm not getting any text notifications please help! Won't even vibrate

If you are having trouble with SMS messages, then you would need to address that with your carrier, unless you are receiving them and just not get a notification. If you have followed the steps I gave you for iMessage and you are not receiving notifications, then check the settings for Notification Center. If you have Messages set to show on the lock screen and play a sound, and display a banner, etc. then your next step is a restore. First restore from a backup, and if that doesn't work, then restore as a new device. Restoring the phone will result in the loss of all data. Make sure you have backed up the phone, synced all content and imported photos to the computer.

Imessage won't send or receive messages. I tried several different wifi connections and ethernet and still nothing. Maybe my outstanding balance is restricting my imessaging?
