My iphone 4 sends iMessages but they do not deliver?

Please I need help! When I send an iMessage it sends but the word "delivered" does not appear under it. I need a solution quick!

Reset your phone and try again

Try resetting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button if that don't help backup your data through iTunes put into recovery mode by do the same thing except this time hitting the home button run through iTunes to then undo it then backup data

It could be because the recipient does not have Wi-Fi or cellular access (if you're sending the iMessage to another iPhone). They need to have an Internet connection to receive your messages. Don't worry, once they connect to Wi-Fi or Cellular (3G/LTE if its an iPhone) they should receive your messages imminently after connecting!

Hope this helps.

  • Why is my Iphone not sending as Imessages and receiving iMessages from one person? I'm texting my wife and we both have iPhone's and she is getting the messages as an iMessage but the ones I'm sending her on my end show up at green. Sometime it will go as blue, get the little red exclamation point then send as regular SMS. I'm texting someone else too and she has an iPhone, and she is getting mine as regular iMessages and mine are sending as regular iMessages. Why aren't they sending to me wife as iMessages?
  • Why does my iphone 3 not deliver my messages? So i keep sending texts but it keeps saying not delivered. I try again and it says the same thing. At the top it says sending, but it stops a little bit b4 getting to the end and says not delivered below my text. I can still make phone calls, but this happens with texts. I've also dropped my phone like 4 times but none really damaged it. It started not sending this morning. Last night it still worked fine. So what do i do, Please Help!
  • What does it mean if an iPhone user can receive calls but not iMessages? My boyfriend and I were on the phone when he suddenly hung up. I tried calling back and it rung until it went to voicemail. I texted him, but it won't send unless I send it as a text rather than an iMessage. We were talking about something important so I'm kind of worried
  • Traveling internationally, iPhone is sending iMessages but not text messages? I'm from America but I'm living in the UK for a while. My iPhone will send iMessages with or without Wi-Fi, but will never send regular texts to android phones. This was happening when I had my American SIM card as well as my new UK SIM card. Any suggestions?
