IPhone message send failure?

My phone won't let me send a message. I have service and Wi-Fi and it lets me send messages to other people just not to the person I'm trying to send it to. I've tried restarting my phone but every time I try to send it, it fails right away.

Maybe that person's iphone is off or something happened to it. If that's the case, send the message and tap on the message you sent for 1 second and then the option that says "Send as Text Message" should appear, click on that.

  • Why won't my 5c send a message as MMS when it's a long message to a non iPhone user? Whenever I type a LONG message to an SMS user (says Text Message in the messaging "box") my 5c won't convert to MMS and the recipient gets the message in dozens of out of order messages instead of the whole fluid message. I have MMS on in Settings. What can I do and why is it doing this?
  • What does message send failure mean on iPhone? I sent this person a iMessage and it didn't go through and said "message send failure". I've texted this person before and had no problems but now it's saying this. The person I'm texting also has an iPhone. What does "message send failure" mean? Could it mean that there phone is off?
