Hi, note that in order iMessage to work both of the phones must be iPhone and iMessage must be activated on both of the phones..

You can go to Settings --> Message

Make sure that iMessage is turned on then check the "Send and Receive" addresses, at least one row must be ticked.


Then make sure the same thing is working on the other iPhone, else iMessage won't work.
