iMessage has decided to stop working between myself and my friend, this is the person I send the most iMessages to and we have both tried turning our iPhones off and back on, no luck. Does anyone know why this has happend? It's annoying :/
Got a tip for us?

I would check your messages settings on both of your devices and make sure that your phone numbers are checked under send and receive at. If it looks good try turning off iMessage and then turning on again.

Have you friend go to setting>messages and make sure iMessage is turned on. Mine turned off randomly a few weeks ago after a crash/reboot.

Did anyone change phone numbers? under imessage settings there is a "send & receive" section, and it list the phone numbers and email addresses to use for iMessage. Maybe it's unchecked or missing?

I had something similar happen yesterday, here is what I did:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.
iMessage should be turned off now, so go back to Settings > Messages and enable it and sign back in.
You can try this on your phone, but your friend may need to do it on their phone.

Hold home and sleep button until you see the apple logo. Do it with both phones it works so so much better then turning it off. Tell me how it goes.
This, I've had this happen several times and resetting the phone(s) has always fixed it. No data is lost by this type of reset.
