Since I upgraded to ios6 my text messages stay green even if I'm texting someone with an iphone. How do I fix this? Do I need to do a system reset?

What color are you expecting them to be? Did you turn imessage on or off? Maybe they haven't turned imessage on in their phone?

If they are supposed to be blue with imessage turned on then maybe you should turn it back ON.

No it is supposed to be blue with imessages off. You are not being helpful you are being very condescending.

My guess is that the iMessage system is down. Apple has said this would happen occasionally and probably overloaded with all the new phones/accounts being added.
