Why can't I send any messages?

Hi I have an iPhone 4S using iOS 8.2. The problem is that I can't send any messages at all. First off, I tried turning the iMessage feature off and then on again but now it's stuck. I can't turn it on again. Secondly any texts I send out will just give me the notification that it failed to send. Does anyone know what to do?
Things I've tried:
Shutting off and turning on
Restarting
Resetting Network Settings
Resetting All Settings
Turning off iMessage to turn it back on (Now it's stuck off.)
Syncing with iTunes
And I'm in the process of restoring the iPhone using iTunes
Things to note:
Everything on my phone works fine. But I notice whenever I open up my Message app it'll take a really long time. Usually when it does work, all my messages are gone. Other times I can see my messages. But whenever I click on it, it'll lag tremendously. Once it responds I can still only see the last message that was sent between the other person and I.
A similar thing happens in Settings. Whenever I try accessing Settings > Messages it'll lag a lot before eventually letting me in.
EVERYTHING else works perfectly though, it's only anything that involves messages/face time that will give me problems.
Thanks in advance!

Follow these steps:
1. Turn off iMessage
2. Turn off Facetime
3. Go to General, Reset, Reset Network Settings
4. Go to Settings, go to wifi and enter your network password
5. Go back to iMessage and turn it on
6. Go to FT and turn it on
This should work for you.

  • Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))

    Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))
    It functioned well originally, but a month ago I could not use facetime and send i-message anymore. I think there is nothing wrong with my apple ID because I can still download apps in apple store.

    Try turning both iMessages and Facetime off in SETTINGS then re-enable iMessages and then Facetime. See if that helps.

  • TS3274 Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list?

    Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list? What do I have to do?

    You can send imessages to anyone who is using an Apple device (recent models).It will try to go via wifi but if it can't then it will try to send as an SMS and for that you need cellular capability.
    Does your iPad have cellular capability?  If not then you can't send to non-Apple devices through iMessage.
    Hope this helps a bit.

    The person that you want to reach must be setup and registered to use Messages on their own device before you can reach them and Messages only works with other iOS users and Macs running Mountain Lion. If you know that they are setup for Messages go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. Make sure it is turned off.

    Most likely your carrier has not enabled texting on your phone.

    You can send iMessages to anyone with an iPad that has installed iOS 5.0 or later and has registered/activated iMessages on their iPad. The same applies with an iPhone or iPod Touch.

  • Why can't I send any more than 5 TCP messages per second on an NT system?

    Help!
    I am trying to send a message (approximately 50 bytes long) every 22 ms (45.4 Hz) to the only other machine on our network (the server). I am using the following function:
    Status = ClientTCPWrite(Conversation_Handle, Pointer_to_the_data, Size_of_the_data, Timeout_value);
    I have tried various values (0, 1, & 10) for the Timeout value to no avail. The status always comes back saying it wrote fine (no error status). I am running this application on Windows NT 4.0. No matter what I have tried it can only muster about 5 messages per second. I think NT might be limiting me, but I'm not sure. I am updating the screen (which ought to take longer than writing the messa
    ge) every time I send with a count of how many messages I have sent. This appears to be working at the proper rate (I am using a timer set to go off every 0.022 seconds to call the send). I am the administrator on this NT machine with all rights (as far as I can determine). I have tried using the SDK function SetPriorityClass to set the priority of this task to REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS, but the return value comes back 0, which means it was unsuccessful. I haven't explored this any further yet, but 22ms should be a long time to a computer so it ought to work without having to go to these extraordinary measures (at least that is what I think). Anybody familiar with the inner workings of NT or the TCP library PLEASE RESPOND.
    Thanks,

    22ms is a long time for your computer, but I am wondering about your network. Are you 10 base or 100 base? Switch or hub? Have you tried a direct connection with a crossover cable? Just trying to spark ideas here. I use TCP all the time but only at 500 ms intervals.

  • HT4623 Why can't I send MMS messages on IOS 7.0.2 from my Iphone 4s on Straight Talk?

    After upgrading my Iphone 4S to IOS 7.0.2 I no longer can send MMS messages.  I have already reset the network settings several times.  This is very anowing and I have lost sales because of it. 

    Ask straight talk why you can't send MMS - since it is a carrier feature.
    are you provisioned to use MMS?  Do you have MMS turned ON.

  • TS2755 Why can I only send picture messages to people with iPhones??/

    For some reason I can only send picture messages to people with iPhones,any ideas what it could be that's wrong??? This is the first iPhone I've ever had by the way,it's an iPhones 4S

    Did you actually call your carrier and verify that? Or are you just assuming that, because it worked on your previous phone, the feature is on your account? Sometimes, when you change phones, things get messed up.

  • Why can't I send picture messages and group messages with MMS?

    Picture messages fail to certain people with invalid destination address.  Then the group messages won't send unless I send them as individual texts.  Very frustrating. 

    I am having this same issue! I got my S3 in December & it has worked fine until about a month and half ago. . .around the time of latest software update! I can not send MMMS messages (group texts, pics, videos). It doesn't matter if I am on wi-fi, 3g, 4g LTE. It does not send!!! And I am getting ******. Help Verizon!!
