Anyone else experiencing issues with iMessage failing to send text or picture messages? This is an on and off issue for me. Before the last few weeks, for the most part iMessage has been working pretty good. But since the xmas holidays, it's been laggy more than I'd like. I would send a picture message and it would take about 10 minutes before it tells me message failed to send. Before that the status Sending bar would just hang at the very edge. I figured, the pictures were large files and it was having problems sending. But there are also times plain text messages would do the same. I've had people actually receive my messages while the Sending status bar was still on my screen. The only thing I can think of, is that because iMessage goes through the Apple servers (like SIRI does), that it was just congested during those times. Which still makes it quite inconvenient. Can anyone confirm this, or know any other reason? Yes, I've contacted my carrier, reset network, pulled SIM card, etc... The usual troubleshooting. Because this happens inconsistently, I prefer not to restore my phone as new and put everything back in again. In my experience, this would just be a waste of time, and much more inconvenient.
