Why can't I iMessage my friends?

I have internet connection, I have data, I have turned on the iMessage button on settings, but everytime I tried to make chat(s), it is never blue, it's always green. But my friends can iMessage me.

(I'm using iPhone 6)

A few of things to try:


  • Sign out of iMessage and sign back in.
  • Reset your network setting. Settings>General>Reset All Network Settings.
  • Delete the conversations where you can't send iMessages but your friends can send them to you.
  • Restore your phone from your back up.
  • Restore to factory settings.
