[MERGED] iMessage down?

My messages are still sending as text. Portland, OR.
Update: I deleted the existing SMS text conversation and started a new one with the same person and it's now going through iMessage, but it's been a few minutes and it hasn't been delivered.
Nope. Timed out and delivered as text. However, one to the wifey was delivered via iMessage so whether it's working is not as simple as "yes" or "no".

How is it a bonus when it's expected? This isn't washing detergent with 20% more bonus.
I'm not trying to argumentative either but
the fact that it was added later has nothing to with it.
I was merely trying to back up my point that these are free services. A point that I stand by. You could have spent a lot more money than you spent on your iPhone on a device that runs Android, for example. In which case you wouldn't have iMessage or FaceTime at all. Don't get me wrong, I agree that if we're promised services we should be able to expect them but they haven't been withdrawn, they're just temporarily unavailable *shrugs*
Face palm.
Then it's not free if you must have a Apple device.
Free service would be something like Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, face book, etc.
Tim Cook isn't up to the task of CEO. There have been multiple blunders as of late. The execution just isn't premium. Tim Cook needs to get control of Apples software...and even from an operational aspect Apple is suffering. No minis for days on end. Its been 3 months and you still cant walk into an Apple store and get an iPhone 5. Apple is just a mess right now without Steve Jobs holding the ship together.

Wow nice!

Tim cook is losing control. His job as CEO is clearly on the line at this point. Investors are going to want answers. He cant keep having these spectacular failures under his leadership and continue on as CEO. People were already skeptical of Apple hiring a CEO whos cor competency was not hardware/software. I think All of Apples upper management needs to check themselves and get serious about their software services if they want people to continue to pay a premium for thier hardware.
Then if you look at things from an operational perspective...Apple is suffering there too. You still cant walk i to an Apple Store and by an iPhone 5 in any model and its been out since September. The mini had almost no units available at all for sale. Its crazy really. Lte minis are taking far longer than people had expected and dates are pushed back from two weeks to months. Crazy! Tim's job as CEO is on the line.

I'm sorry, but this KIND of illustrates my point. We previously did not have iMessage and FaceTime and now we do and aren't being charged extra for it
I've expended almost as much energy justifying my point as I would have if I'd joined in with setting fire to effigies and throwing tables around, so I'll take my leave and hope we can just agree to disagree and that iMessage and FaceTime return quickly, before people start rioting and looting.
Definitely not! But, on the internet, sometimes it seems like "perspective" is considered an outmoded concept.
as of now imessage working but facetime is not ...
Apple website though conveniently states
All services are online.

How do you know Tim Cook's job is on the line?
Are you aware of the stock issues with both iPhones and iPads before Steve Jobs died? Clearly you are not.
Explain how iMessage being down and demand exceeding supply as a sign that Tim Cook has lost control. I seem to recall this thing called Siri and it not working out so well in the beginning (and sometimes now) when Steve Jobs was alive.
I love how everyone jumps on this idea that nothing bad ever happened when Steve Jobs was alive. It is as though he knew exactly how many iDevices to manufacture every launch and that there weren't QC issues before his death. Either we're dealing with a new generation of folks who weren't around long enough to know how things went before his death or we're dealing with people who are quite forgetful.
iMessage works when sending to my email listed in imessages, but will not work when someone sends to my phone number. iMessages will not let me select my phone number that i can be reached at. iMessages still saying waiting to activate. What an absolute piece of crap.
Ummmm...Steve Jobs was dead when 4s/siri was released.

Im not the one who's forgetting anything. This is multiple scandals back to back in a short period of time. Tim's lost control. He's a great COO or wing man support person but he probably shouldn't be the CEO of Apple.
You're right about Siri but there were absolutely issues with Steve Jobs at the helm. I don't think Cook's days are numbered at all. Unfortunately or fortunately.
