Resolved iMessage Down? (6/22/16)

[willmtaylor]

Has iMessage been acting up today for anyone else? The wife is in NYC this week, and suddenly today all of our messages are SMS & not iMessage.

Just sent my mom an iMessage. Went straightr through and showed as delivered. I'm in Arizona though so maybe an East Coast thing?

Hmmm...ok thanks for letting me know.

That happens with me and a friend of mine (I'm in Ohio, she's in Texas) from time to time and it's usually when she's in weak coverage or a heavy congested area.

Had no issues today in NYC with AT&T and T-Mobile hope that helps.

Yep, same thing happened to me. I texted a relative who has an iPhone, and it went to SMS, which never happens.

It was about 9:30am. I'm in NYC.

Thanks!

I got the wife reset her phone and it rectified the problem.

I totally forgot to add that when I checked my Settings > About screen this morning for another unrelated issue, I got a popup notice that there was an update available to the carrier settings for AT&T, and did I want to update them.

It must be related?

It was doing the same with me yesterday.
I send a few imessages and they went through as a text message.
A few hours later I tried again and went through via blue bubble using imessage.
Weird....

Not sure. We're with VZW, not ATT.

I had this issue and things were sending as SMS for about an hour
