[How to] Setup and Use iMessage for iPhone
iMessage was introduced along with iOS5. In my opinion it is one of the top 2 features of iOS5 (the other being improved notification system). It’s Apple’s answer to BBM service.
Follow the tutorial below to setup and use iMessage for your iPhone.
• First thing ensure that the iOS 5 is running successfully.
• Go to ‘Settings’ & select ‘Messages’ then turn the toggle switch for iMessage to on.
• Now there will be a message called “Activating”.
• Next user have to enter receive address, which can be Apple ID or iPhone number or both. Configure these using the “Receive At” tab.
• Once these steps are completed user have an iMessage account on iPhone
• Also you have an option to send as an SMS if iMessage data connection is not available. Turn that on.
Thats all you need to do. iMessage has been successfully configured now.
Check out this Video below on how to use it:

Try it again. Apple servers must be facing a ton of requests. It should work on the 2nd or 3rd try.

Hello. I hope someone can help me please. When I try to Speak my messages, the dots twinkle around, however nothing shows up. Also, when I then Type my messages, a voice repeats what I write. I would really like to Speak my messages, but for the life of me, I cannot find anything under settings to correct this. I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me with this. Thank you! Victoria
