Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot issues with not being able to send or receive messages on your iPhone, I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting outlined below.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
- Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
- Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
- Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
- iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
- Restart your device.
- Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
- Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
- Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
- If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
- If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
- Back up and restore your device as new.

Nov 26, 2014 12:21 PM in response to alex_h1by StepanyanMuradyan,This doesn't help me. I'm having problems with all kind of iPhone messages, including SMS and MMS too, not only iMessage. I can use WhatsUp, Viber and social network messengers, but I can't send or receive any type of text, image or anything else in iPhone's Messages app.
It doesn't warn me about any connectivity problems, it doesn't show me error details. My message that I'm sending is just disappearing when "sending progress bar" gets full. Then it looks like I never wrote a new message. -
