iMessage randomly shutting off

Does anyone know how to fix the issue where iMessage randomly shuts off and all of your messages send as texts? Facetime does not work in this case either. People have shut both off and turned them back on and then rebooted the phone. Does anyone know of any other fixes? Thanks.

when you say that people have shut them off and restarted their phone, are you saying that this suggestion is not working for you?
Moreover, have you insured that you're online via wifi or cellular connection?

It works on and off. This happens to people at random.

Can you provide a bit ore information such as how to possibly replicate this issue, the device being used, IOs version, etc? I have never had this kind of issue so can't really say any more.

Not sure of the iOS version. But sometimes when I sent an iMessage to someone it hesitates for a few seconds and then sends the message as a text. I can't even facetime the person either.

Hi,
Have you verified that the person you are texting uses an apple product? I know it sounds like a silly question, but quite frankly, there isn't much else to go on as you're not providing a whole lot of background info.
