Question

Messages not sending or receiving iMessages from my phone

Hello,

Over the last few days Messages has slowly stopped sending or receiving iMessages from my phone. If I send a message to another iMessage number from the computer it's saying "delivered" when in fact it's not sending at all. Additionally, any iMessage that comes to my phone is no longer coming to my computer on Messages. I've tried logging in and out, restarting, changing settings, etc. Nothing seems to get it working. My iPhone is a 4S on Sprint. Wondering if anyone else is having this problem or if there are any suggestions to get it working?

Thanks!

HI,

I had this issue once.

On checking thre iPhone settings the Apple ID had become Unchecked and th iPhone Number was not ticked at all.

I removed the Apple ID

Placed the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the server.

On taking the iPhone out of Airplane mode I checked the iPhone Number was listed for iMessages and then re-added the Apple ID

As I did not get the pop on the Mac version as soon as I thought I should I restarted the Mac Messages app.

It then got the pop Up saying the iPhone was using the iPhone Number and Apple ID.

(I probably did not wait long enough but I would do this if the pop has not appeared in five minutes).
