iMessage is not working

Each time I send a text via iMessage it says delivered, but then quickly says in red: Message Not Delivered âš  (with exclamation point).

It has been happening since yesterday afternoon EST and now 5 other friends with iPhones are seeing the same exact errors.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4, Verizon iPhone 16gb

I have had this issue for the past two days but it seems to be fixed now. Couldnt send iMessage from wifi or cellular. Atleast this time I got the notification that my messages was not delivered, last time i had this issue I got no such warning.


This has made me not trust iMessage and I will probably keep it turned off from now on.

I have an iPhone 5 and I am experiencing the same problem. I noticed that this problem only happens with some of my contacts, but not all. I have tried everything from deleting the contact, deleting all old text messages, deleting icloud account, disabling FaceTime/iMessage et al. things on iPhone.


Nothing seems to work. When I attemp tto send an iMessage via my MacBook Pro using Messages to these same contacts, I reveive the following message "...is not registered with iMessage."


Notably, the people who I am unable to contact via iMessage say they too can send an iMessage to others but not me.

What is going on?
