My imessage wont work for just one contact

Hi,
I have been searching on this forum & the Internet for a solution to no avail so maybe someone can help me.
I have a friend who has the iPhone 5 with latest update (iOS 6.0.1).    She can iMessage her husband no problem. I have iPhone 4 with same software version but when we iMessage each other the messages are going through as SMS messages. I can iMessage other friends with iPhones no problem.
Yes we both have iMessage switched on.  Yes I have tried re-booting my phone, switching my iMessage on/off, switching airplane mode on/off &
still no joy.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem as SWatson12, and the person I'm texting has an iPhone 4S like me and is in my house - so there isn't a question of coverage area or type of phone.
But iMessage still works with this person if I text via my Mac or iPad.
This has been a problem since last night. At first, when I updated to 10.8.2, it worked great!

  • Imessage not working for only one contact all of a sudden

    I can not recieve imessages from one contact. We have always been able to use imessage and just yesterday all of a sudden the only way we can text is if I turn imessage off. I can use imessage for everyone else and he can use imessage for everyone else, we just all of a sudden can't use it to text each other now.
    I am reset my phone, deleted and added him again, and he has tried the same.

  • IMessage not working for only one contact, but across all devices

    I have been iMessaging my friend for over a year, we both have iMessage enabled on our devices and it was worked consistently up until 2 days ago, when I tried to send her a message from my MacBook Pro and it said she no longer had iMessage available, I went to my iPhone 5 to try and send her a message, but it would not send to her, and would only send as an iMessage, she told me that she has been able to iMessage other people as have I, I have tried turning iMessage off on both of my devices and it still does not work, suggestions anyone? I know it's not crucial to have iMessage it's just something that's been bothering me.

    Have her turn imessage off and back on and see if that works.

  • Imessaging not working for just one person.

    I have an Iphone 4S and my friend jst got an Iphone 5. She still has her iphone 4s and Imessaging works just fine with that.  But once she got her Iphone 5 we haven't been able to send Imessaging back and forth.  But it still works on the 4S.  Anyone know how to fix that?  I reset the settings on my phone, but that just made it so i couldn't imessage her at all, just sends as a regular text.

    She should log out of iMessage, then log in again.  That usually fixes these types of problems.

  • All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can i turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can I turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

  • IMessage not working for an iPhone contact

    I'm having an issue where 3 iMessages went undelivered so i sent it as a regular text.  Now it is stuck on regular SMS text for this one contact.  All other iMessages work to other contacts.  I've tried rebooting, resetting my network on the phone and turning iMessage on and off but nothing works.  The other person has tried doing the same also.  Can anyone help with this?  It is a corporate phone and I have limited regular SMS texts but unlimited iMessages. My phone is an iPhone 4s, not sure what his is.
    TIA,
    Rick

    Hi BonusCup,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you are sending SMS only to one contact only. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you can't send messages to a certain recipient, delete any conversations you have with them and try sending a new message. When you delete a conversation, you won’t be able to recover it.

  • Commit Work for just one function module

    Hi experts,
    i have one question;
    I need one solutions for commit work but just one function module. If i set commit work in function module then everything is taking the commit. But i dont like this. I need just for FM. This is impossible ?
    Thak you, regards.

    Hi,
    The only way I know involves creating a nested LUW - opening a new internal session by calling ABAP program using SUBMIT ... AND RETURN or a CALL transaction code.
    Meaning, you'd have to code your logic in a report program/transaction, use the function module to merely call that report/transaction and, if necessary, use EXPORT/IMPORT or SHARED MEMORY to exchange data between the sessions. It's quite "ugly" solution IMO, and it involves session handling overhead, which can make it unsuitable for time-critical mass processing.
    Cheers,

  • IMessage to text for only one contact.

    Hi,
    I have a contact that had an iphone but not any more. Previously, we would send iMessages and everything was fine. He switched to another phone but I still can see his contact as iMessage and when I try sending him one in the hopes that it will turn into a text, it says Delivered. I tried erasing the number but it didn't work.
    Thanks,
    Ana

  • TS2755 imessage wont work for a certain person

    Me and this guy i'm dating both have an iphone but when we text it only sends as a text message instead of an imessage. This only happens to me on his phone and him on mine. Any thoughts how to fix this problem ?

    Tell that person to go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off then back on. If they receive any errors, have them follow this article: If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support

  • My i message will not work for only one contact the rest will

    my iphone will send i messages to everyone else but one

    iWork '09 is still available from the likes of Amazon.
    Your experience is why I never trusted downloaded versions when there's a physical DVD available.
    It may be possible to reactivate with your code, but I can't advise you as to how.

All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

    Hello Jesslb23,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
