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 phone will not send or receive calls

    My phone will not send or receive calls; it goes straight to voicemail and when I try to send a call, it will not connect. I have reset, rebooted, and tried just about everything. Any other suggestions?

    What did your carrier say when you contacted them and reported the problem?

  • Phone will not send or receive any text messages

    My Samsung Illusion will not send or receive text messages but the calling feature still works. I've tried all of the troubleshooting techniques, including a hard factory reset, yet the messenger still won't work. Any suggestions??

    This is concerning! When did this stop working? Do you get any type of error message? Please share.

  • I phone will not send or receive ANY text messages.

    My daughter has an iphone and it recently stopped sending or receiving text messages.  We have done several resets, spent hours on the phone with tech support, been sent a new phone, and can't seem to get this resolved.  I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar issue?

    are you talking about storage or data as in how much you can download from the Internet with your carrier each month?

  • Since update, will not send or receive picture messages unless using imesage

    Since the I0S6 update, my phone will not send or receive picture messages unless it's being sent through iMessage.
    I know of other people having the same problem, with different versions of the phone and different carriers.
    Anyone else?
    I have the iPhone 4 with Sprint.
    Friend has the iPhone 4s with Verizon.

    Check settings/message and make sure MMS is ON.  Also chcek that your carrier/your plan allows sending of pictures over MMS

  • 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

  • Phone will not send Imessage

    I am sitting here with full wifi signal, yet my phone will NOT send an iMessage.  I can click the message and it will send as a text but I can't send the iMessage to others with iPhones.  Please somebody direct me on how I can fix this issue.

    A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.
    iOS7.0.3 will be available next week that resolves this issue.

  • 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.

  • Officejet k 80xi will not send or receive faxes

    My officejet k 80xi will not send or receive faxes. It connects to the other fax line but will not send the fax through. I am using 2 wire phone line and it is hooked up exactly as my officejet T 65 was. (and as the directions specify) Does anyone have any idea of what I need to do to make this fax work? I have tried setting it up as a single fax line as well as with a phone on it also. I cannot find any combination that will allow it to work.
    Thanks

    Hello Musky52,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving an error message stating fax failure using the Officejet 8600 Plus. I will do my best to assist you! Just to verify if the hardware is working on this printer, could you copy a document on your printer? Please let me know on this post if you receive an error message or you're able to copy a document successfully.
    Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I just want to see if this makes a difference. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
    I worked on behalf of HP.
