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?
 
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.

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.
