My iMessage won't validate on my iPhone 5c
Out of nowhere my iMessages stopped sending on my iPhone. When I go to the settings and iMessage it says that it can't be activated? It was working on my phone 30 mins ago. I have done a hard reset with no luck. My wifi is working properly. Also iMessage is functioning on my iPad.

My iMessage won't work on my iPhone 4.
My iMessage won't work on my iPhone 4. It used to but I had a new screen and a new apple ID created so I don't know which is causing the issue. I tried turning off auto time and back on and still won't work. It say check connection. Same with happens when I try activate FaceTime???
I am also getting the message to connect to iTunes to use notifications even though I have notifications turned off for the app???

My iMessages won't work on my iPhone 5. Any help would be appreciated.
As the title says, my imessages just wont work on my iphone 5. I have tried everything from a dfu restore, to turning imessages on and off, resetting network settings, turning off sending as sms, etc. etc. If I put my sim card into a friends iPhone 5, my iMessages activate and work right away.
Every message I send seems to send as a text.
iMessages in settings is activated and looks like its working but will only send as a sms. I cant receive iMessages either.
My iphone is out of warranty and Im all out of options. If this is a software problem, can I get a replacement iphone through apple as this is obviously not a hardware issue?
Thanks. Any help would be much appreciated.I have restored as a new phone and it still doesnt work.
As for creating a new Apple ID, Ive tried that and it doesnt work. It still defaults to my number and it wont allow to send an imessage as it reverts to SMS when I type in a contact in the messages app.
I tried starting new conversations from the Apple ID as well but didnt have any luck.
I believe its something that isnt getting wiped out through the restore process.
I wish I could escalate my issue to someone who could look at the underlying code and see whats wrong with the phone -
IMessage won;t send to non iPhone users
iMessage has always worked just like texting on my phone. I use ATT and would simply text from my computer and would perfectly integrate with iPhone and send messages to anyone on any OS on any network without fail. I do not have nor do I want an Aim account. I recently upgraded to MAvericks and now iMessage will only send emssages to other iPhone users. Please help make ti work just like it did with Mountain Lion and jsut like they promise it will work with Yosemite. Thanks!
You will be able to do that with Yosemite and iOS 8. Your Mac will connect with your phone over bluetooth and send an SMS message via the iPhone.
It never worked in Mavericks that way.
As KOT states, iMessages only works from AppleID to AppleID on iDevices.
From AT&T's Website, you can send a text to any other AT&T customer:

iMessage and Facetime won't activate on new iphone 5. Both indicate "Waiting for Activation." How do I fix?
I just activated a new iphone 4s and restored from a backup of my former iphone 3gs - had the same problem - Waiting for Activation on both facetime and imessage. I tried all the usual fixes, reset all, hard reset, turn facetime/imessage on and off, and on and on. 2 hours on phone with tech support to no avail.
I just found the fix on my own - no clue if it will work for everyone. But it's ridiculously easy and worth a shot so you don't waste hours and hours resetting/synching as I did.
All I did was go into settings>phone>my number - erase it by touching the ">". Then re-enter it making sure to input with the "+" and country code. For example in the US: +1(508) 569-9901
No hard reset necessary. I went into settings>facetime and imessage, immediately after inputting my phone number again and the dreaded "waiting for activation" message was gone. I tested sending a message - came thru to the other party fine and facetiming another device (my mom's ipad some distance away) and it rang thru with everything working properly i.e., video/audio. -

Hi, imessages won't send from my macbook pro. I am still able to recieve them on mac. I am also able to send and receive on iphone. However on mac every time i press send (enter/return) it disappears, with no red '!' or anything. Any help?
Triple check the Outgoing Mail server info that you entered in your Mail account. If that area says the info is optional enter the outgoing mail server and your password anyway. Also if you have more than one email account check the server that is selected for the GoDaddy account and make sure it's the correct server for the account.

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.

IMessage won't switch to "on."
My iMessage won't switch to "on." When I press the button to switch it on, it immediately switches back to "off." I am connected to WiFi but do not currently have the SIM card in because I am in another country. I am using the iPhone like an iPod Touch. I have an iPhone 3GS. How do I fix this problem? I've restarted it, restored it, everything...
I got my iMessage to switch on, by completely resotring it on Itunes. I tried everything but I can;t get iMessage to work. Like its activated but the msgs just wont deliver. I'm currently overseas now, in UAE. The thing is, when I go to iMessage and click on my Apple ID it shows the iMessage Account. And then I went to change location, it shows you a list of countries. I cant find UAE!! So I think the country as a whole blocked it. Like they once blocked BBM for blackberry (They finally allowed it) but I think its the same with iMessage. Absolutely ridiculous.
