Messages not sending

Traveling in Europe and not using cellular, but rather using WiFi. My messages won’t send. Any suggestions?

Hi, Dan!


Make sure your recipients have an iPhone and have iMessage enabled, otherwise you will be unable to send messages to them since you can't send text messages over Wi-Fi. You can find this out by looking at the colour of your iMessage bubbles. When you send a message, are they blue or green? Green means that they are being sent as a text message, rather than an iMessage.


Happy travels!
