Do others find iMessage unreliable?

    Not sure if the issue is between different network operators but I find huge delays in sending txt messages via iMessage. Sometimes it takes 5 hrs for the recipient to receive, pretty useless if you're trying to organise a night out or something! Anyway, switching it off and reverting back to old school Text Messaging only.

    Ive had no problems with mine. maybe it could be your internet connection. Or the connection of the recipient on the other side.

    Yes I have the same problems and friends and family have had the same issues too.

    Firmly switched off

    No problems here. In fact, I was just thinking the other day how seamlessly it works.

    Mine seems to work fine, but then again only a handful of my regular contacts seem to have it enabled. A few times I've noticed (presumably when in a poor signal area) that the message is "sent as text message" and the bubble goes green. I would assume this is how it should work. If it's taking more than a couple of seconds to deliver, then it should revert to SMS.

    Yes, iMessage is suppose to revert to standard SMS if it can't send via iMessage or if the recepient is not an IOS user, however this doesn't happen for me all the time and hence the delays. I seem to get the issue when sending between different network operators. I find the "WhatsApp" more reliable! Hopefully it's just a temporary buggy situation. I'm and O2 and experience the issue sending to both Three and Vodaphone users

    Yeah try WhatsApp. For the most part I find it great but sometimes the messages do not get delivered unless the person starts the app the odd time. Give it a try though, its the best app around IMO
