So I am having an issue with my iPhone. I can't use iMessage or send emails through the Mail app through my iPhone.

I don't have any credit on my phone so I can't send messages through normal text.

Whenever I try to send a message on iMessages through Wi-Fi, it says "not delivered" next to the message. I can use normal Internet (safari, YouTube etc) just fine.

I have already tried going into Settings and turning on iMessage but it just says "activation unsuccessful" even though I have an Apple ID.

Also, whenever I try to send an email, a few seconds later I get this response back from: Postermaster@mac.com


Delivery Notification: Delivery has failed


This report relates to a message you sent with the following header fields:

Message-id: <528F5D2C-ACC4-43BA-ADA4-F99D2BB19947@icloud.com>


Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:


Reason: Illegal host/domain name found



Anyone know what the problem might be?

You cant just send a message like that

iMessage via wifi works with email. Go to Settings - iMessage or Message and check the options there to chat via your email instead. It expects you to use a email if you dont use your number.

Make sure all settings are correct.

If you need further assistance, just reply here.
