Everyone's is broken right now. Just turn it off for now and use regular text messaging

It was down yes, but is back up now.

  • Why isn't my imessage working on my iphone 4 My imessage hasn't been working for about 5 days now. When i send a text to people who have i phones its sends as a text message. I even tried turning the imessage button one and off in the settings tab. I'm connected to a Wi-Fi as well. Can anyone help me imessage again?
  • Why isn't my iMessage working Okay so I went away for a few weeks and now that I'm home I want to use iMessage on my phone again (iPhone 3) but it was off so i just thought that it turned off automatically when I went overseas but when I turned it on again it wouldn't work; it just sat there with "waiting for activation… " on the screen and not actually working. So I'm just wondering WHY this is and how I can fix it? Cheers.
  • Why isn't my iMessage working on my iPhone 5? It's fully updated as far as iOS goes. I was on my run today and literally it just stopped working out of nowhere. Looked online for troubleshooting but Apple doesn't help AND I don't wanna screw my phone up any worse (whatever is going on) by doing something to activate iMessage again. Anybody have a proven trick that may help me get this back on track? Much appreciated!
