My iMessage doesn't work for some with iPhones
WWhy does iMessage not work for some thst have iPhone? For example day 1 text went as iMessage day 2 changed to sms
iPad, iOS 8.1.1
Hi,
1) That iPhone may not be registered with the iMessages Servers.
Several variants of that:-
2) the iPhone has lost power/is out of range and been "de-registered".
3) Twice my iPhone has become set to Not Receive on the iPhone Number - the User cannot change this - but it has happened. After a while if this is not spotted it loses the link with the Apple ID as well.
4) It is not entirely clear if you Block someone in iMessages whether the iPhone still gets SMS versions.
It appears you might have to block them for Phone (and therefore related services like SMS) as well as iMessages.
5) iMessages servers having a bad day.
