iMessage not working?

As of today at about 3pm PST, my iMessage does not work on Wifi or 3G on my 4S. Several of my friends (1 with a 4, other with a 5) have reported the same problem. Neither of us have updated to iOS 7.1. Other friends who have updated have reported no problem with iMessage.


Anyone having similar problems? I do not want to update as I do not have 1.8G available on my phone and do not feel like deleting apps or photos.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.6

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES

Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:
