I have a phone number that comes up red and says it is not set up in iMessages

Well maybe that device does not have imessage active and because the device you are using in snot a phone and cannot send SMS messages you are getting this error. Check with the owner of the phoen and ask them whether they have imessage active

That phone number is probably not registered with iMessage. It's also possible that it is not a iDevice e.g. IPhone, iPad or iPod.

Isnt that exactly what I said? If so why did you post over the top of me?

You seem to make a habit of trying to have the last say and I do not appreciate it. If you have something new to add or what has been posted is wrong please feel free to comment and/or correct. I appreciate that but please stop doing what you are currently doing and just posting so that you have the last say. It is annoying and unnecessary

Sometimes people post the same thing at about the same time, not because they're trying to one up someone but because they didn't see the other person's reply. I've done this myself when I've written a response, gotten distracted and taken a minute to hit reply. Diavonex's reply came in only 3 minutes after yours. He probably had his reply screen open and didn't even see yours. I doubt any harm was meant. 🙂

This is not a competition. And it happens all the time that someone posts while you are in the composing window. Take your time, no worries. You may avoid your typos --"snot", "phoen"

The posts are only 3 minutes apart... it can often take longer than that to finish the post. What diffrence does it make anyway... it's not a competition.
