iMessage trouble

[lutre1ll]

Since Saturday night I have not been able to iMessage my bf. Never had a problem with it until just the other night. It sends out as iMessage, and then after 5 minutes it says, "sent as text." I tested it out by sending another friend with an iPhone, and it worked for them. I synced in iTunes, did a soft reboot, clueless at this point. Help!

That's usually caused if the recipient has iMessage turned off, or their phone is turned off / a data connection is unavailable on either device.

I'm thinking it is probably off. I've iMessaged two other people since then & it works fine. I have an appt set up at Apple for this coming Sat to have a genius look at it, unless we figure it out before.

As mentioned, it sounds like something on your bf's end since you aren't having any issues iMessaging anyone else. Have them check their settings to see if that is the issue.
