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

  Are you sure you've enabled your email address? 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.

    I can’t seem to get messages to work.
    iMessage is on and facetime is too.
    What am I doing wrong?

          No, you don't need the e-mail addresses in your phone that you're 
sending to, necessarily.  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.

          Chris.

            Ok, so I need to make sure I have all email addresses in my phone.

              Hi,
              I have been doing the same thing for quite a while. My iPhone is 
now my iPod/Web viewer etc. you can still use iMessage or FaceTime with your 
email address.

              I am now just using my iPhone 5S like an iPod.
              I was getting dropped calls all the time. 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?
