Actually, yes. Those were the first things I had suggested. Chris.

In both FaceTime and iMessage settings, there's a place that says something like "enable [FaceTime/iMessages] for" and then lists your registered email addresses and phone numbers. You may have those disabled? You should also change the "start conversations from" setting to an email address--it might still be set to your phone number. Sorry if this has already been suggested, I've not been following this thread too closely.

It would be helpful, yes, but it's not a requirement. What they're saying is, you need to go into settings, then Messages, and be sure that IMessage is turned on, and that it is set to your e-mail address for your outgoing messages instead of being set to your old phone number. I'll betcha it still is trying to send from your old number, and that's probably why it's not working. Also, be sure obviously that you are connected to your wifi. Otherwise, again, it won't work. Also, I'd make sure that Facetime is signed in, and that you are set for outgoing calls to be sent from your e-mail address, and not your old phone number. That's under Settings, Facetime. I know you might not ever use! Facetime, but trust me with this. It is so tightly integraded with IMessage, that you probably will want to confirm this as well.

My iPhone is now my iPod/Web viewer etc. you can still use iMessage or FaceTime with your email address.

I’d be listening or talking and the phone would just drop the call. I went to the apple store and we thought it was fixed. I am unable to send iMessages from my phone but messages is on. How do I make iMessage work on a phone when I’m not using the phone part of it?
