iMessage Failure to Send

For the last 2-3 days my imessages continue to fail to send. I've signed in/out of my cloud on my phone, turned messages on/off multiple times, restarted my phone, and just now updated to 17.2 - still no avail.

My iphone cannot send imessages to itself after updating 16.1.2 My iphone was running iOS 16 yesterday and could not send imessages to itself. I could send iMessages to anyone else but not to my own cell number. Sometimes i send messages to myself to remind myself of something or to transfer something from my phone to my computer on iMessage. It quit working. I rebooted the phone and it did not fix the problem. I installed 16.1.2 and that did not solve the problem. I rebooted the phone once and it was not solved. I rebooted the phone a second time and sent a single iMessage and it worked. 5 minutes later i sent myself an iMessage and it was an SMS text. 5 minutes later i sent one and it worked. So it is intermittent. I am having no problem sending imessages to anyone else. Only to myself.

iMessage not working for outgoing messages Early this morning my iMessages stopped working. I can receive messages via iMessage, but when I try and send, they fail and then go out via SMS. I've tried to reset iMessage, I've tried shutting down my phone and restarting. I am in process of updating the software. Not sure what else to try! I have an iPhone 8 Plus so wondering if Apple may be phasing out these phones? Appreciate the help.

iMessage Not Working iMessage is not working on iPhone. It all started after the iOS17.1.1 update and it restarted my phone as if it were brand new. I can send and receive iMessages on my ipad and my mac, but constantly get 'not delivered' on the iPhone. I have done various steps from disabling and enabling iMessaging. Confirmed that that my phone number is correct, reset network settings, force restart, turning off wifi, turning off cellular, turning on airplane mode, etc. Nothing is working and the only option I was given was to completely factory reset my phone. Hope that there is another option before going through that hassle.

I erased all content and settings and it still doesn't work.
