Some Experiencing Delays and Failures When Sending iMessages

[sparkyscott21]

According to reports on the MacRumors Forums and on Twitter, Apple's iMessage SMS-replacement service is currently experiencing some sort of system outage.

Users are experiencing difficulties with delayed messages, messages completely failing to send, as well as read receipt notification errors. The problem is intermittent and not universal, but given the high-profile that Apple places on the service -- it's enabled by default on every iOS device -- any sort of outage is going to affect many users.

We've emailed Apple for comment and a timeline for a resolution, but have yet to hear back.

Now iMessage is on & off for me ...anyway , it's 10pm here so I'll be turning off WiFi and data for the night .
Can't wait for Do not disturb ...
Do you think 10.8.2 will arrive tomorrow at the same time as IOS 6 ? It might be a huge mess if everyone downloads them at the same time !

I'm thinking 12:01 A.M. U.S. P.S.T. on the 19th.. Could be wrong as I haven't heard enough to be 100% positive.

For once , I'll try to wait and hear what the others have to say ;-)
For ML , I clicked the moment it came out and it took hours ...
