Hi Bowlover526. I had a similar problem and was able to solve the issue by changing the Date & Time setting to set automatically.
From the Home screen, choose Settings→General→Date & Time.
Turn the Set Automatically option to On
Then try to log in to iMessage or Facetime. Hopefully, this will solve your issue. Best of luck!!

Hi Natasha,
Below is a copy of my post in another thread on this topic. I'm not sure which country you are from, but hope it's helpful.
Possible fix for Australian users on Telstra and using Tango
I'm using the iPhone 5S with iOS 7.0.1 on a contract with Telstra in Australia and have been experiencing the problem with iMessage and FaceTime not activating. My iPhone 4S on iOS 6 worked perfectly on the same network however.
I seem to have now fixed this issue by removing the Tango app (it is similar to Skype). Reading through this thread and seeing the refernces to TuGo triggered my solution, although I believe the 2 apps are entirely unrelated (just have a similar sounding name).
This fix may have been co-incidental, given that I had to wait quite a while for a sync with iTunes to complete. After syncing, I didn't check the settings for Messages and FaceTime to see if they had been activated. I just went straight to the Tango app on the iPhone and deleted it - hey presto, instantly both Messages and FaceTime were activated.
Hope this helps others in Australia who may have Tango installed, and are on the Telstra network.

Imessage and facetime wont work

First I should say that this problem is on my friends ipod, not mine. She's been explaining everything to me calling me through her iPad and showing me what's been happening to her iPod touch 5. She doesn't have an iPhone, so she wants to fix this. Okay, second I should say is her iMessage and FaceTime IS NOT WORKING! Her iPod can't send or receive texts, and we've testing it out multiple times. We try to go into the iMessage app it shows NOTHING! Just BLANK! She tried to facetime through Siri and Siri says "I'm really sorry about this but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while." She says the same when asked to text someone too And no matter what we do, it Still doesn't work. she says something else's too if we again but we forgot what she says. And when my friend tries to go to the facetime app it shows her contacts but she can't click them or scroll down. So we've tried syncing her iPod through her computer but it started downloading thousand of music that she didn't want so we canceled it. Then we tried resetting the network settings and put her wifi code back in which did not work at all either. Also, when we go into settings and click either facetime or iMessage, the screen freezes when we click on one of them and of course, doesn't work. Lastly, She can go into contacts and scroll around and do whatever she wants, but when he clicks on someone, it only shows me their email and phone number but it doesn't show the little icons to text or FaceTime. We have no idea what to do. HELP!!!!!!!!!

Iphone 4s imessaging and facetime wont activate!

I have signed into my itunes account on my iphone, but everytime I try to activate Imessaging and Facetime it tells me "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I have tried this in several wifi areas and it proceeds to tell me the same thing. I have made sure I have verified my appleid and tried all the troubleshooting intructions, but nothing seems to work. Now I cannot receive any notifications for any of my apps and when i get on to the app it tells me "Connect to iTunes to use puch notifications." And yes I have connected to iTunes through the computer and still couldnt figure out a solution. I dont understand what else the problem could me??

I've got the same problem as above with my 4S with same error about my Internet Connection. I've tried signing in to both FaceTime and iMessage using both 3G and WiFi and always get the same error - "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." but can sign into iTunes and this Forum no problems with same ID. My FaceTime and iMessage worked earlier on iOS6 but I just upgraded to 7 and now get these problems. Can it be a problem with the upgrade and 4S's??

My imessage and facetime wont activate on my iPhone 5

i just restored my phone yesterday, then backed it up from icloud and my computer, i was activating my imessage and facetime but it would say waiting for activation for hours, its been over 12 hours now and it still has not activated.
I've tried everything, ive restarted it, wiped it completly again, signed out of my apple id back in. Ive checked to make sure there are no restrictions set. My facetime won't even set up with my apple id, it says i have a network problem but my wifi is fine.
If you have any idea how to fix this or to contact another apple support that would be great thanks.

IMessage and FaceTime wont work - Tried everything

I know this is asked a lot, but I think I have a different case because I used iCould to reset at first. Earlier today, I changed my passcode so my sister couldnt get on and I forgot it 20 minutes later. I unlocked it by removing everything and restoring it before and it worked, so I went to do that. I got a message saying I could reset until "Find My iPhone" was turned off, but I couldn't do that because I didnt know the passcode. I decieded to go to iCloud and erase my phone to turn 'Find my iPhone" off, which worked. When I restored from my iPhone back up, I went to FaceTime (I FaceTime a ton) and I realized it wasn't working. I went to settings and I saw it was turned off, so I turned it back on. Well, like most people it was sitting at "Waiting for activation" and after that, "An error occured during activation. Try again." I looked it up online and found a lot of solutions, to which none worked. I tried Hard rebooting, reseting network settings, Removing everything (This time off of iTunes), Removing everything and setting up as a new device, flicking it on and off multiple times (obviously), and I think thats it. Is their any other known way to fix it? Everything was working for me up until I changed my passcode and reset using iCloud which was today. I'm running the lastest version of software (iOS 7.0.4), and I don't really care if iMessage is working as I have unlimited texting so I don't need it, but I need FaceTime fixed more than anything. If anyone could help, that'd be great.

I have tried restoring and setting up as a new iPhone and then turning FaceTime on if that's that you meant. That didn't work for me. Disabling Cellular didn't work either, but thanks for the suggestion.

Do a search here on the forum for Wind. I've recalled reading some issues with them. I believe I also saw a post where they are supposed to have a link on their website regarding this, but it is reported that not everything works well with them and the iPhone.

My iphone 5 wont let me sign into imessage and facetime!

I recently bought a iphone 5 from my aunt. I went to AT&T to go activate and switch over phones. (I had a iphone 3gs). I later went home and tried to log into my imessage and facetime, but it wouldnt let me. I keep trying and it says "iMessage Actavation - Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try agian". I have wifi so my internet can not be the problem & and my internet on my phone works great. I can sign into my itunes and icloud witout any problems. I tried turning my phone off and on, restore the iphone and reset the settings. Ive also tried calling my company but said they couldnt help. And I called Apple and told me to the same time ive already tried doing. I dont know what to do anymore. And im hoping someone can help me out! Thank you!

One thing to remeber , this issue occurs because of poor wifi or internet connection. If this isn't fault in your case, try these because it happens in all products of apple like mac,ipad mini,ipod touch..
Check you apple id and sign in again.
Change you DNS to open DNS or Reset you network settings.
Reboot you iphone once.

Imessage and Facetime not working... keeps saying wrong password?

I have just got a new Iphone 5 which has been working great until tonight when the imessage no longer works and facetime wont connect. It says I have the wrong username or password for the account but its not... any help much appreciated.

iMessage servers are down. Check this website for more information and updates http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

I can't log in on iMessage and Facetime on iOS7

I tried to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPhone 4S with iOS 7. They won't let me log in. On imessage it is just sending everything in a text message not an imessage. Facetime wont even work. Every time I try, a message pops up and says, "Try to connect to network availability..." My wifi is working. It is working on my moms iphone 5.

back your Iphone up onto itunes. MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS. otherwise you will lose everything.
go to your iphone, and hit settings < General < Reset < Erase all content and settings. Once you do this. youll ned to go into itunes on your computer and restore your backup. this will take about 10 minutes or so. After that. your imessage should be working. you will lose all your music, but as long as your bought them off itunes it wont be problem putting them back on your Iphone.
after hours of talking to Apple tech, telling me i just have to wait. I took a shot in the dark and it fixed.. give it a shot. just make sure you back up your iphone into itunes from your computer.
hope this helps everyone!
