I run a carpet/upholstery/tile cleaning business and I regularly message customers individually through iMessage. Recently Apple suddenly restricted my iMessage access tied to my Apple ID/phone number without any warning.

Messages stopped working properly and support later suggested my account may have been flagged as spam because of the amount of messaging I was doing for business purposes.

The frustrating part is:

• I was sending messages manually, not using bots
• I received no warning beforehand
• I’ve spent hours with Apple Support
• I still don’t have a clear explanation or resolution

At one point I was even told there may be no way to restore iMessage on this number because it’s tied to the Apple ID situation.

I’m honestly shocked at how suddenly this happened after being an Apple customer for years.
