Why can't I send text or Imessages?

I cannot send text messages or imessages on my iphone. I have tried everything. I can write a text but then when I try to push send it won't allow me to. It is like the button is frozen or something. I am still receiving messages from other people but cannot send any myself.

If the Send button is frozen meaning the text message or iMessage cannot be sent and no change after powering the iPhone off and on and/or a reset which is similar to a computer restart, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup first. If no change after that, try as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

  • 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.

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

  • Why can't I send or receive iMessages on my iPhone?

    I've been using iPhones for about 5 years now and I've never found a problem with one that I couldn't fix until now and it's really starting to irritate me because no one has any idea whats going on. I just got a iPhone 4 from one of my moms friends because my last one broke and for some reason on this phone I can't use iMessage. I can use FaceTime and do everything else on my phone except for using iMessage. I have iMessage turned on and activated in the setting and I have linked my apple id but for some reason when I try and iMessage someone with an iPhone my messages will only send as texts. And when people try to iMessage me it says delivered on their phone but I get nothing on my phone. Could anyone help me out? I have tried all the trouble shooting steps on here and nothing has made any difference.

    yes i've tried both my wifi and my 3g network nothing works. ive been talking to apple the last few days and no one can fix the issue, they just keep telling me they'll call back the next day to try something else. i dont understand how i can facetime but im not getting the option to send or receive imessages when facetime and imessage are used on the same server

  • Why can't i send text messages to those who don't have apple products?

    I am unable to send text messages to those who don't have apple products.  Can someone help with how to do this?  I know imessages don't work to them, but I should still be able to text them.  Help?

    Hi there!
    If you want to send text messages on your iPad, you may be talking about the recent Continuity Feature. To do this you will also need an iPhone connected to the same wi-fi network.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings
    Then to Messages
    Then 'Text Message Forwarding'
    Turn on the device you want to send a text message, in your case your iPad.
    Your phone should ask a code that it sent to your iPad. In the box type in the code that shows up on your iPad and press Allow.
    You should be good to go.

  • Why Can't I Send Text Messages in Group Conversati...

    I recently installed Skype 6 on my Mac OSX 10.9.2 but when I go to Skype and look at my group conversations in my history and click on it, it does not show any of the messages that other people have sent (only the times when people have called). It will not let me click call or the plus button because they are faded. It also wont let me click the textbox to type because it says: This is a legacy conversation from an old Skype client. Sending messages is not supported.
    Can anyone please tell me how to fix this problem? 
    Thank you,
    Kaala

    I can't do group text any longer either. Everyone else in my group call can. Some are on PC's and some on MAC's. I am using MAC OS 10.9.4 and have the latest version of Skype. Since I use it for business, I really need to find a fix for this and it seems that Skype support doesn't care. At least that's how it looks in the post threads. 

  • Why can't I send text messages with my iphone5?  I can send to other iPhones

  • Why can't I send or receive iMessages from one person but I can from all my other friends?

    As of Last Monday I haven't been able to send or receive iMessages for one of my friends when I send the message it says delivered but that person dosent receive it but it works for all my other friends and it work if I send a normal SMS text help pls I'm really confused thanks in advance :)

    It sounds like your or your friend had gotten hit by the "iMessage bug" that Apple has confirmed.  They state it is only impacting a fraction of a percent of the iPhone users (which means it could be over 90,000 iphone users since 9 million were sold recently).  I would have both you and yoru friend restart your iPhones (hold the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears - it shoudl take about 10-20 seconds) then wait for the iPhone to restart and try sending an iMessage again.

  • Why can't I send or receive iMessages to my wives iPhone only?

    I can send and recieve Imessages to everyone but my wife. I have reset my network settings,hard reset phone changed everything that needed to be changed...Basically I have done EVERYTHING but back up and restore the phone. Thats something I dont want to do seeing that its only one person I cant imessage with. Seems ridiculous to me that I would have to do that. If anyone could help I would appreciate it. i Can still I message from Ipad

    Yeah that seemed to work but it's sending from my iCloud address not number. I went in and unchecked all address and now it's screwed up again. Went back and checked all emails again and now it's not working at all again....except for ipad

  • Why can't I send text with FindMyiPhone anymore?

    I was able to send text messages with my iPhone 4 up until I upgraded to IOS 5.Then the text option disappeared. I can either select "play sound," "lost mode," or "erase ipad." Nothing more. None of them have the additional option to send a text message.
    If this is the case, I'll find another app to do the job. I was very disappointed when that fuction disappeared.

  • Why can't I send texts to non iPhones?

    Just started today. I can send texts to iPhones, but to no one else in my contact list. What causes this and how do I fix it?

    There are too many to list here and as everyone I text to has an iOS device I've never bothered to download one. Two of my teenaged grandchildren do use one of the free ones but I don't know which.
    I suggest you do a search for SMS in the App Store and pick out a few to see if they would suit your requirements.
    You could also do a Google type of search for 'iPad SMS' and get a list.
    Be sure to read the reviews before picking one.

  • Why can't I send text messages

    Hi
    I'm on Orange PAYG (iphone 4) and over the last month I've had real problems sending texts.....they get most of they way on the progress bar but will not actually send!!  I've spoken to my carrier and they assure me there's nothing wrong there!!  Any advice welcome!
    Thx

    Hi Jakub123,
    Try a hard reset (Hold the lock button and home button until Apple logo appears after turning off.) This is the usual fix with mine.
    Other way I find help this, is to turn Airplane mode on, for about 30 seconds or more then proceed to turn airplane mode off. Wait until your signal bars return then try again.
    Goodluck, I hope this helped.

  • Why can't I send text messages through my 2013 Honda Accord?

    It uses the Handsfreelink system, and is connected properly (seemingly at least) through Bluetooth. It will read the messages as I receive them, however it will not show the sender, and when I attempt to reply (when the vehicle is stopped) it says the message failed and prompts me to try again, which yields the same results.
    While I'm certainly not techno-savvy at all, I'm not completely moronic, but I cannot figure out why I'm unable to send a reply. The "call" feature works. The music works. Everything seems to be functioning fine, except replying to text messages.

    My experience has been that each dealership has an expert on making these systems work.  I'd find out who that is at your dealership.  Their name and direct phone number can really come in handy.  These systems always seem to be a bit finnicky, what with various device and system software updates occurring constantly.
