Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network.
Go to Settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage, Send as SMS, or MMS Messaging is turned on (whichever method you're trying to use). Learn about the different types of messages you can send.
Restart your device and check for updates
Check the system status for iMessage
Go to the Apple Services System Status page and check iMessage.
Reset your network settings
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Jun 11, 2015 5:27 AM in response to Doctor9fanby Gerrym1,To all those who are interested, I have achieved a result, after spending nearly 48 hours trying every possible suggestion.
I gave in and visited my service provider, who also had some trouble resolving the problem but did find and fix the problem.
It appears that after having inserted a new sim, while in the USA and then reinserting my Telstra (Australia) sim, the router was not automatically re-diverted to my local number and was still trying to contact the USA number.
The Telstra technician has assured me that he has reset things!! so that it should not occur again when switching sim cards.
I hope that this information is of some help to someone out there.
