My iphone 5 will not send texts by imessage

Just last week, my iphone 5 will not send text messages to other iphones or ipads.

I believe there have been some sporadic problems with iMessage.

Have you tried logging out of your Apple ID with iMessage followed by logging back in?

  • My iPhone 5 will not send mms through iMessage, any help?

    I have recently been abroad and since returning to the UK, my phone will not send pictures over iMessage, I never had this problem before travelling. I have my wifi switched on and I have checked my send and receive settings. I can receive picture messages through iMessages but cannot send them. The person I am sending them too has an iPhone and has their iMessage turned on, I have checked my updates and my phone does not need updating, I can not think of anything else it could be. I have also checked and I am able to send them through text just not iMessage. Any suggestions would be great!

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

  • My iPhone 4 will not send messages as iMessage

    It will only send messages as text. There is nothing wrong with my network connection. Safari and Mail work fine. I know it is sending as text because the message is in green. I don't even have Send as SMS on in Settings.

    is it giving any specific error message? Have you tried a different outbound smtp server?

  • My Iphone 4 will not send text messages to one contact

    A week ago my friend just stopped receiving my text messages.  I have an Iphone 4 on Verizon and she has a Samsung Smart phone on Sprint network.  I am able to get hers and when I reply mine look as if they are going through but she does not get them. I have tried deleting her as a contact, re-entering her..she has done the same on her end. I have reset settings and nothing helps! Any ideas?? We thought it was her phone and she took it to Sprint an it is not. I am able to send and receive text messages to all of my other contacts.

    Reset network settings in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    Sometimes something hinky goes on with the cell coverage, and that's one way to try to fix it.

  • My iPhone 5 will not send texts to a few numbers

    Most imessages and texts go through just fine, however, I have 3 numbers that I used to be able to text without any issues, and now I can receive messages from such numbers, however, I get a "not delivered" error message when I try to respond. I have checked my settings with my mom's iphone and theyre identicle but she has no problem imessaging the numbers. All of my software is current. 
    How can I fix this?

    You have the opportunity to delete your message history and contact profile for the ones you are having trouble sending sms too and then reboot your device. If unsuccessful you may have to backup and restore as new ***Do Not Restore from Backup*** It has been known to be an issue. Once you restore your device to new retest your sending sms. If you choose to restore from backup and retest sending and it fails again, please restore as new.

  • Iphone 5 receives text messages but will not send text messages

    Since yesterday my boyfriends iphone 5 will not send text messages. He can receive them but when he goes to reply it doesnt work. He has turned his phone off and on and that seems to work for awhile but then the same problem happens again where he cannot send a text message. Was wondering if there was any way in fixing this or why his phone is all of a sudden doing this.

    So I should update this. The phone actually loses service, I have reset the network connection as well as I have updated the carrier settings and the phone is still losing service randomly. I called the carrier and they told me there is nothhing they can do unless we bring the phone in, they believe it could be the sim card because everything on their end looks to be fine. So I'll be going to the carrier store this evening to see if they can fix the problem if not then I will be going to the apple store. Do hope this problem gets fixed soon. 

  • Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

    Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

    I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have!  I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved.  I hope your problem is solved this easily.

  • My phone will not send or receive imessages.

    iphone 4s will not send or receive imessages.  Some messages were going to ipad but not phone.  I turned off ipad messaging.  turned off and on imessaging on iphone.  backed up phone to itunes and restored it.  It seems to accept my apple id.  Tried changing the date stuff from suggestion on another discussion. Did hard reboot a few times. Any Ideas?

    Go to Settings>Messages> turn iMessage off. The go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. Do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, go back into Settings>Messages and turn on iMessage. See if it activates.
    Apple has acknowldged an issue with iMessage and is working on an update. Look for that to be released sometime this week.

  • My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times

    My iphone 4 will not send and receive text messages at random times.  My brother has the same phone, lives in the same home and doesn't have this problem.  I can't receive messages without my iphone displaying a message asking for my phone number at random times. It happens intermittently.  Does anyone know why this happens? I am referring to regula text messages not imessages.  I have turned it off and also updated to the most recent software. thanks

    I've been an AT&T customer since they were under different names in the 90s and have never heard/seen that. I would check with them. I'd really like to see that error. To get a screenshot on the phone, press the home button and sleep/wake button together quickly and release. You will see the screen flash slightly and hear the camera shutter noise.

  • My iPhone 5 will not send photos but will send text. I went to settings and everything seems good to go but I cannot send photos to anyone via messages...please help

    When you said you went to Settings and everything seems good. Does that mean the MMS was turned on? If so, and this is only being experienced when dealing with SMS/MMS, then you should contact your carrier to have them check to make sure your account is provisioned for MMS, and that everything is alright with your account. SMS/MMS is a carrier function.

  • Will not send text to more than one person

    All of a sudden my phone will not send text message if it is going to more than one person.  Plus it would not send a video that I received in a text message.  In the past I could send a text message to more than one person and could send videos.  Any ideas?

    Are you retaining copies of sent texts? My coworker had over 500 messages
    in a sent text folder.
