  • I get an error message "waiting for activation" while trying to turn on imessage

    I had to reset my Apple ID password. After doing this i now have to log back into everything that requires an Apple ID to operate on my 5C. I dont currently have cell coverage as im traveling in Italy for work and don't have international coverage. Is there a way for Imessage to  verify my new AppleID password without recieving an SMS from Verizon. My phone is currently in Airplane mode with date and all roaming shut off to keep from getting an expensive charge. I have Wifi through a hot spot i carry with me but the Imessage gives an error message saying "waiting for activation" From everything i have found i guess it's waiting for network (Verizon) verification. Back to my question, is there a way to have Imessage verify my new Apple ID password over wifi using my email address instead of carrier verification? This seems to have worked for Facetime but i know facetime only uses Wifi.

    Hey Andrew, 
    That is interesting issue. If you are still not activated with iMessage, then you will probably need to turn your cellular data on so it can be linked with your phone number. Go over the article below to walk you through some general troubleshooting to get it going.

    Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage OFF.
    Then go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. Your phone will restart. You will not lose any data, but you will have to re-enter any Wi-Fi network passwords.
    Once the phone has re-started and you have a network connection (either 3G or Wi-Fi), turn iMessage back ON.

    Seems that way. I think I am going to have to give in and spend hours on the phone with Apple support. I don't want to, but I am at a loss. I will share any discoveries...

  • TS2755 Did all of this trouble shooting and my Imessaging still says waiting for activation. Don't know how to fix it.

    Don't understand why my Imessaging stopped working. If I go to settings messages and check out Imessaging it just says waiting for activation.

    Change the DNS servers of the wifi network to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
    Go to settings>general>date&time> set automaticly , turn it on if it wasn't
    then settings>general>reset>reset network settings
    restart the phone

  • TS4268 Still says "waiting for activation".

    I know that the imessaging servers are back up. But my phone's imessaging still isn't working. What do I do?

    Did you follow all of the suggestions in the support document that you came here from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268? If you did, try turning it off again, wait a moment, then turn it back on again.

  • My iMessage still says "Waiting for activation...

    I tried literally every single one of your solutions and nothing worked.
    I ported my number from Reliance to Vodafone.Total pain in the backside. I want to send iMessages from my own number, not my email address.
    Please, please someone else?

    Hallo Brad,
    I didn't get an email but first a warning that my carrier might charge me for the text message that would be used to activate. Said OK. Messages activated and my phone number was added below the email address. I now have two 'recieve at' addresses.
    Don't know if this hepls but you can stop worrying about the 'missing' email.
    Good luck. A

  • I have account with Google under a different name for the games I play, the game companies want access to Apple account and other email accounts to be able to contact all friends, aquaintances. So should I set Apple account on other account.

    I have two accounts with Google, one for business other for games. The games companies want access to names of clients, aquaintenances, friends etc. I only have one account with Apple, using business account. So do I set up another account with Apple, for the games, to protect clients, friends and aquaintences. As I am sure that no one wants to be bothered by the different games. Using iPhone 4s updated to ios7.  Sincerely       JC1869

    Yes. The same account/Apple ID does not have to be used

  • TS4268 under settings messages, it says "waiting for activation"

    I'm connected to wifi, can connect to itunes using the same account, and changed my password to have a capital, number, and lower case to match the current requirements, but it still says waiting for activation, and when I try to log in with my apple id it says to check my network. Anyone know how I can fix this? I'd like to use iMessages..

    Try the steps in this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle  iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically  is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable  iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.

  • Waiting for activation

    I have an ipad and iphone 5c. My daughter has my old 4s. My imessaging works, facetime does not. Her facetime and messaging just quit working, and the waiting for activation message will not go away. I have tried rebooting, removing and replacing email addresses, resetting network settings, removing and replacing sim card, date/time changes, updated ios, updated itunes on computer, making changes in itunes account, --and I've tried all these things in different order and on repeated basis -- all to no avail. I am trying to do this without messing up my own phone. We just moved, our internet service is terrible, but I don't think that's related anyway? I try to add her email address instead of mine, the phone will not send the verification email no matter how many times I request. So I try to set it up under my email and it won't do that either. Help!?

    So for those out there suffering from this same problem, after repeating all those random steps mentioned above - again -  with the Apple rep on the phone, it STILL said waiting for activation. They had me back up the phone as a last resort to reset back to factory settings. Before I pushed the reset button, I tested sending a text - and even though in settings it still says waiting for activation - I was able to send and receive texts! Here's hoping it lasts.....

    Re: My iMessage still says "Waiting for activation..." Jun 17, 2012 10:04 PM (in response to bradfromwinnipeg)
    Hi All,
    This problem is solved for me, with some help from the carriers. At last
    Let me describe my situation once again.
    I am from India, where the official iPhone carriers are Airtel and Aircel.
    I have two prepaid connections - One from Airtel and one from Reliance GSM
    Whenever I try to activate iMessage from my Reliace SIM, it shows activation unsuccessful, the the receive at shows my email ID only.
    But whenever I try activate it using Airtel SIM, it activates just fine. But since my primary connection is the Reliance one, I wanted it to get activated for Reliance.
    I have tried every tweaks/restore etc mentioned in this discussion, but nothing worked.
    The solution:
    This does not require any jailbreak/restore. Just a little help from the carrier.
    For all reliance GSM customers in India, you can just try to activate in again. I think they have solved it for all customers.
    I was almost lost hope of activating imeesage on Reliance. But then one of my friends bought a new iphone (4S). He had a docomo connection, and he also had this same issue. But using his contacts in docomo, he enabled some trace in his connection, and found out that the phone was trying to send SMS to a UK number (short code), which is blocked by their RA team.
    This is that magic number : 00445773142076
    So from him, I got the number. I raised a complaint with Reliance.
    The complaint had nothing about imessage, but it said: "I am unable to send international SMS to the number 00445773142076, even after having sufficient balance and an active SMS plan"
    So they have done some 'unblocking'  and called me this morning and asked to try again 'sending sms to the same number' . I went to settings and activated imessage and facetime/ Thats it !!!!.
    A big thanks to Reliance GSM support for the quick solution.
    For anyone on Reliance GSM in India, just try activating it now.
    For others, log a complaint with the carrier that "you want to send SMS to the number 00445773142076.
    Thanks all
