iMessage "Message Failed to Send" but it did. . . .

Been having the exact same issue for the same amount of time.

Same here, super annoying

I found that if you sign out of iMessage on all your devices and wait about a minute and sign back in one by one it will fix the issue.

Both my wife and I are having this issue as well. Both using iPhone 4 w/ iOS 7.0.3

Sign out of iMessages on all your devices and wait a couple of minutes and then sign back in one by one. Should clear it up.

I'm having the same, annoying problem!! I and several friends! To sign out of iMessage, do I just switch it off? If not how do I sign out? I have turned it off, restarted my phone, etc, and nothing. I have a 5 that is fully updated. Please help!

read the above answer.

Signing out and back into iMessages did not resolve the issue with either of our phones

I had the same problem this morning. I am using an iphone5S with the most up to date iOS installed and an iPad Mini with the latest iOS. Yesterday I was on a Southwest Airlines flight, and I used their new iMessage service during the flight. Not sure if that was involved.

The solution was to "log out" of iMessage on both devices. This is not as simple as closing the app. You need to go into "settings - Messages" and then turn off iMessage. Do this on all of your devices. Wait about 1 min. Then turn them on 1 by 1.

When I did this, I started getting messages that "xxx" email address was now using iMessage.

Problem solved.

Hope this helps.

I have the same issue and singing out iMessage did not help at all

I am having issues of not being able to send iMessages to people as well. I have done all the steps as stated by jmitch9 and none of them have worked. I am in the US and my carrier is AT&T. I didn't have this issue until today. I have turned off my iMessage on my iPad mini and my iPhone 5s several times with no luck. I have reset my network setting several times and signed out and in of Apple ID so much they probably think I'm a hacker of some sort! Lol Still to no avail. Are there any other suggestions before I have to do a factory reset? PLEASE HELP!!!

It seems this happens mostly with older phones. I have a 6s Plus and never experienced the issue, And have a few friends with 4 and 4s iPhones that have the same trouble. I would recommend getting at least a 5s, Due to it having better connection with more LTE bands and such. Older phones such as the 4 might not have the hardware to keep up with the very updated software and/or cell towers.

Seems like every one suggest this for all sorts of problems, I've never had it work and in fact it created multiple contact and iCal entries.

Not true, I've had it happen with my 5s and yes running the iOS.
