Ok, so I'm having a really annoying problem with iMessage:
Me and my girlfriend both have iPhone 5S's (7.0.4), and we were both able to use iMessage with no problems. iMessage is kind of essential for us because she lives in the US and I live in the UK. She came over to the UK for a month and I got her a UK SIM, just temporarily, so she could use the phone over here - again, iMessage still worked fine but now to a new number.
The problem is, now she's arrived back home and put her American SIM in, I can't imessage her. I can only SMS, yet she CAN imessage me. We can both imessage every other iphone contact in our contacts list without a problem, it's just my UK phone that can't send an imessage to her US phone.
We've tried the basics of turn imessage off and on, resetting networks, hard reset the phone, our send and receive lists match (both phone and email, starting conversation from the phone which is what we've always had). I'm just totally lost. I have no idea why it's not working, it just doesn't seem logical at all.
Sorry if any of this doesn't make sense, I'm very tired and just wanted to get something out before I sleep so I can hopefully have a response by morning. If anything needs clarifying, just let me know.
Thanks
