You need to make sure that iMessage is turned ON on BOTH devices for it to work. If you can send iMessages to other people than your friend needs to turn it on on his phone. If that doesnt work, try turning your iMessages off then on again on both devices.
Yes both iMessage is turned ON
and both has been restarted and still doesn't work....
Maybe it could be a problem with the connectivity since iMessages uses wifi mainly or cell data if needed. Are you connected to wifi? Are you able to iMessage with anyone else at the moment?
I try both using wifi and data. I tried switching off the wifi and use the data and still the problem exist.
Are you able to iMessage with anyone else?
I can send iMessage to all using there number. But my concern is when I got a problem with my signal it send using an SMS which is bill is apply. I want to send iMessage using there AppleId instead of there number.
You can turn off the SMS feature in the iMessages settings so if it cant send as an iMessage, it wont send as a text instead.
Once you do that, you wont have to worry about being billed anymore for the normal rate of texts. Some people can have their phone number attached to their Apple ID so even if you send it to their phone number, it will send as an iMessage. You can look at that by going into Settings>Messages>Send & Recieve At> and you will see any phone numbers and emails attached to the Apple ID which you can message to.
Try turning that off as stated above and try to send a iMessage to their phone number.
I had this problem when I was in London and Dublin a couple months ago. I realized I had to have the email address registered for iMessage and use my AppleId password to authorize the usage on both devices.
Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive look at the persons applicable emails/phone numbers and it needs their email has to be in that list, if it is not just tap on "Add Another Email..." and you can throw it in there. It's not automatic that on an iPhone it allows the appleid to always be used for receiving.
You mean i can't send iMessage using AppleId (email address)?
No you can send it using your apple id.
What Im saying is, if I want to text my friend, I can enter in their Apple ID OR their phone number becuase he has his phone number attached to his apple id. Either one I send a message to, it goes through as an iMessage.
Yeah that was my problem. I cannot send iMessage to his AppleId (email address)
I don't mean you can't iMessage to an AppleId, what I mean is that you have to make sure the appleid is set up to receive the imessages on your friends phone.
Can you iMessage to his phone number?
I can send iMessage to his number but, i want to send using his email address instead of number.
IPhone 5 cannot send imessage to appleid (email address)
