How to work Imessage for iPhone?

Hey so I got a new iphone its just the iPhone 4 but I'm not sure how to work I message? Any advice and tips would be helpful!

Just turn it on in the settings, thats all you have to do.

Well if I were you I would return the iPhone and wait for the Galaxy S4 because Apple is failing and their products are getting worse. But if you keep it you follow these instructions:

First you have to set up an iCloud account via your Apple ID. Once it's set up go to Settings on your iPhone

Then Messages from the Settings app. Turn on iMessage and make sure to see which account(s) and number(s) you will be able to send & receive the messages.

Also if you're new to the iPhone thing I would turn on "Find My iPhone" in case you lose it or it gets stolen. TRUST ME, it works. Go to Settings, iCloud and then turn on Find My iPhone. To see where your iPhone is go to www.icloud.com

  • Why won't iMessage work on my jailbroken iPhone 4? I just got my stepmom's old iPhone 4. My dad had jailbroken it on iOS 5.1.1 using Redsn0w. Now whenever I try to activate/sign into iMessage or FaceTime, after about 15-20 seconds, and error pops up saying,"Activation Failed/Unsuccessful". My uncle has the same problem on his iPhone 4(jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1).Is there a way to fix this? I don't like always using my iPod Touch to iMessage.
