IPhone 4s IMessage not working? Activated, but not working?

I just recently downloaded the update to the IPhone IOS 7.0.It looks great and all, but I can't get a hold of my friends that don't have phones via Imessage. I've attempted just about everything. I reset all the settings, I turned Imessage on and off more times, then I can count. I reset my network settings, disconnected from the network. Turned my iphone off and waited 20 minutes. Nothing works. Any Ideas on what I can do? I understand this is asked a lot, but I have some points to burn, and it is a legitimate question.

It may take 24-48 hours for iMessage to work or you can restore your iphone through itunes with a backup.

  • My Iphone isn't working to an extent, says not activated? My Iphone works like normal you know, making phone calls, texts, and surfs the web and all. What isn't working is the Facetime, Imessaging, and installing profiles under the Settings. When ever i try using facetime or installing a profile it says waiting for activation and then says Iphone isn't activated? I have verizon and I went to them and they said I probably have to go to apple, any suggestions or ideas.
  • My iMessage for iOS 7 isn't working anymore but texts are.please? My boyfriend can't receive any of my iMessages and I tried restarting it. It said it was not delivered. Then it all of a sudden changed to text messages. My iMessage is even on. Can someone please help me! Everyone else that has an iphone can get my iMessage but he can't. It's happened to me with other people. I just don't know what I did
