iMessage "delivered" but not received

Hello all,

Me and my fiance both have iphones 4. both runing IOS 5. with different Apple ID's

both have Imessage on and with the viewing read option on (the one that shows, when u read the message).

here's my issue; when i send her a Imessage on my iPhone it says "delivered" however she never gets them, so i always find my self having to click the message again and having to send it as a regular text which is becoming really annoying since me and her text ALOT!!. but the issue is only happening with her, with all my other friends using iphone4, 4s, 3gs, and ipod touchs running IOS 5 it works fine.

Any ideas on what i should do. thanks to all.

I've had this problem since starting to use iMessage. I would say about 1 in 10 imessages to my friend never gets delivered even though iMessage says it has been. I have, for other reasons, restored my iPhone a couple of times in the last couple of months and it hasn't helped that problem. It wouldn't be so bad if the app actually reported "not delivered" - at least I'd know! This is a serious bug!

I don't agree that iMessage works fine for almost everyone. iMessage works fine for me ...most of the time. But that's not good enough. I'd prefer it to not work at all. 3 messages I sent this week were never received even though my phone indicates they were delivered. This random failure whilst the phone gives you a sense of reassurance is not good enough at all. I have looked closely but cannot establish a pattern. The non delivered messages were to family members using iPhones all on ios9. I have gone through settings on all our phones, iPads and macs and they are as they should be. Further, messages are not fully syncing between my Mac, iPad and iPhone - again, most of them do but some don't.
