My iPod5 won't let me text an iphone Number?

Imessenger lets me text two of my friends who have an iphone but won't let me text my parents iphone number! I don't know why help?

Maybe your parents aren't activating imessage. Because if you want to tex someone with imessage they will have to activate their imessage first

  • Why won't my iPhone 4s let me text non iPhones? I just got an iPhone 4s for my birthday a few weeks ago and it was working pretty swell then I updated it to its newest version, I think iOS 8.1, but after I updated it, it won't let me text anyone that doesn't have an iPhone. Does anyone know why? Or how I can't fix this?! I text my dad on a regular basis and it's hard too now because I have a texting app specifically for him.
