Having iMessage or SMS problems with your iPhone? Here’s the fix

by Jordan on December 20, 2011

Are you dealing with a ton of “message undelivered” “message unsent” “I hate you” messages from your iPhone? Welcome to the club.

Tons of glitches with a few of their updates and rather than get all technical I’ll just tell you how to fix it:

1. Go into Settings from your home screen
2. General
3. Reset
4. Choose “Reset Network Settings.” Click Ok/yes to agree to their warning and then your iPhone will restart itself.

Don’t worry, resetting your network settings does not erase any data. All you will have to do is rejoin your wi-fi networks (and enter in the passwords again). Worth it for trouble free messaging.

Note: if resetting the network settings does not alleviate your problem, you can troubleshoot a few ways. First see if you’re having problems sending messages while you’re on wi-fi or using 3G. If wi-fi, reset your wireless router (just take out the power, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in). If 3G…that’s a bit trickier. Some people say they have success doing a hard reset (completely wiping their phone). Try resetting network settings. I bet it will work.

Boom.
