Why won't my iMessage work on my iPhone?

I was wondering why my iMessage service does not work on my 3GS phone. The iMessage tab is switched to on. The recipient and I are both within Wi-Fi connectivity. The send button even turns blue. When I try and send MSG it says not delivered. When I gO to settings and turn imsg tab off then bk on, it says waiting for activation… How do I activate for starters?! I have put my password and used ID in too but still to no avail! What do I do?

  • Why won't my iPhone earbuds work on my iPhone but work fine on a computer? So I have the worst luck with earbuds and it happens to be reoccurring. I have a normal iPhone 5 and I enjoy music but when I listen to my songs only one earbud will work while the other one is dead. I can go on my computer and they will both work so I was wondering why they both won't work on my phone?

  • 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.
