Contact the person to whom you are wanting to send iMessage. Ask them whether they have de-registered their phone number from iMessage.


Are you sending it over WiFi or Cellular?


For your Internet connection.

  • Over Cellular: contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider). The agency who issued the SIM to you
  • Over WiFI: Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider), the agency who provided the Internet Service on your Modem/Router to you
