What's wrong with my iMessage

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,

I spent 2, 1/2 hrs on chat with the service techs and even they couldn't figure out why when I try ti send messages the person's name comes up red and says they are not registered and a big red REMOVE is in the box. Anyone know a "fix" for this??

Do you have sounds turned on for these types of notifications? Also, if you have notifications turned on, do the sounds show up in the Notifications settings area for the particular apps?

Why won't my iMessage or any other browsing or date work?
Usually when my iMessage won't work or I can't use any browsing data, such as checking emails or using safari, restarting my phone will allow me to use iMessage and browse when it turns back on. However, today I restarted it numerous times and it still won't work. I can only use my phone to text or use the Internet when I'm connected to a wifi hotspot. I'm not sure why this is happening, any solutions?

Why won't my imessage send as a text message
some of my friends imessage doesn't work unless they are using wifi. everyone always says hold the message like you are going to copy it then click send as text message but when I hold the message it only says copy and more. how do I get it to send as a text message without shutting my imessage off and without holding the message and clicking send as text message?
I'm not an expert on iMessage but I found the following which could explain why you aren't getting the send as text option. It is in http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/send-a-single-imessage-as-a-text-message
Also, everything I found discussed doing it after the message had been "sent."
The primary requirement for this to work is that you have the contact's phone number listed in their info. If you don't, your iPhone won't offer this option. -
Why won't my iMessage work?
I bought my ipod 4th generation about a year ago, it worked fine until I got the lastest update. All of a sudden it won't send or recieve iMessages or FaceTime won't work at my home WiFi. It starts sending and then when there is just a little bit of the sendingbubble left, it stops. And after like 2 minutes, "Not Delivered" shows up under what I tried to send. Out in public if I connect to like a "optimumwifi" it works like brand new. Please help me!

HT5312 why won't my iMessage connect to my Apple ID?
My iMessage won't let me log in with my Apple ID. It keeps saying that my Apple ID or password is invalid.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123. -
