Can't send images or video with iMessage

I have a very strange problem and am unablt to find a solution. I am trying to exchange pictures and videos with my friend and we discovered the following


My friend can send all content (pictures, videos, text only) to me.

I can ONLY send text messages to my friend, but videos and images report as "not delivered"


My friend can ONLY send text messages to another friend, but videos and images don't work.

I as well can ONLY send text messages to this 3rd friend...


Somehow I am the only one being able to receive images and videos on iMessage, but it seems all our 3 phones are configured exactly the same...


Does anybody have an idea? I think I tried everything but I might have overlooked a small thing. So any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks guys

iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.0.1

If you go in to Settings>iMessage -Try turning it off then back on and send a message to see if it works.


If it doesnt work Try going to Settings>general>reset >reset all settings- this wont delete anything so no worries -just settings will be modified.


After it reboots re-setup the device and test again - dont restore from a backup- just setup a new -does it work?
