iMessage not sending

[Walmer]

New to Public. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Had several issues and resolved them with input from the community. Latest was iMessage not sending to everyone. It will send to many but not my wife with an iPhone 11 (The Boss) Not GOOD! I checked all the imessage settings and they seemed set up right. I ended up turning it off then rebooting my phone then turning it back on and the message sent the first but not the 2nd one. I just turned it off/on again and have sent several messages with success. Hopefully this is the end of the issues.

@Walmer   Just fyi:  Best settings are:

A. Settings >> Messages: iMessage ON; Send as SMS ON; MMS ON >> Send & Receive: should show phone number and Apple id email address

B. Texting should always work “if” you send to a phone number and not an email address and “if” you receive only on your phone number. So in your message settings......send/receive, only check your phone number...leave the registered email addresses unchecked.
