imessage not working

ok so i have looked at other discussions and no one seems to be having the problem i am so here goes.


me and my girlfriend have iphones she is on IOS5 i am on IOS5.1 ( i doubt this is the issue) we have been imessaging for some time normally just fine but on ocasion she would not recieve the message some time for up to two hours. all of the time the message would send from my phone just fine and wouldn't deliver, once or twice it has said deliverd on my phone but she has not recieved it. i figured it was something wrong with her phone as she was the one with the problems.

this morning i tried to send a message to her and it just stayed in the sending screen before failing after 5 mins so i changed it to a txt it sent fine but now her icon has gone green ( asif the network dont think she is on IOS5) i was still thinking it was a problem with her phone so i send a message to my boss who also is on IOS5 and it did the same i went back to his contact it had gone green too.


i am compleatly confused

i have done a normal swtich off and on

i have turned imessage off then back on

my internet on the phone is working both through wifi and through my carrier

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

So, it turns out that it was my sister's phone that was wreaking havoc because she finally told me that iMessage wasn't working for anyone from her end whereas I had been able to make contact with other people but not her. She was confused about why it was happening because she had updated the phone and connected it to iTunes and everything looked normal. In the end she had to reset her phone to get iMessage working again. Thank you all for your suggestions! Perhaps this will help someone else.
