Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

iMessage says Not Delivered to recepient overseas until she initiates chat; then I am able to iMessage back!?

I cannot initiate iMessage to my daughter studying overseas; always get a notice saying "Not Delivered". However, when she initiates chat, I can immediately answer back via iMessage with no problem. What can I do to be able to start conversation?
