Ok, I had the same problem myself, and so did my daughter and this fixed them both. Go into settings, scroll down and click on messages, scroll down to send & receive. you should see your phone number in grey then your email address underneath which will have a black tick next to it (if its the same issue as ours) click on the tick so it disapears then click to the left of your phone number and the tick should appear next to that instead. Click on the arrow at the top left of your screen to go back into the messages main menu. At the top slide the bar next to imessage to off, wait 10 seconds or so then slide it back to on. It should then say underneath in grey "iMessages can be sent between iphone, ipad, ipod touch and mac. Go back out of your settings and give it a whirl, if it works, tell me I'm a legend & I made your day! Cheers
