Apple id verification international

I am currently traveling overseas, and do not have SMS text activated since I was using iMessage and FaceTime when on wifi.  Long story short, I accidentally switched my iMessage and FaceTime accounts to an old Apple ID.  After switching it back to the correct one, iMessage and FaceTime can no longer verify my account.  I think this process would normally involve them sending a confirmation SMS message, but I cannot receive it. Is there any way to verify these to reactivate iMessage and FaceTime use so that I can use them with my mobile number while I am still abroad, or do I have to wait until I can receive SMS messages?

Actually it has to do with send and receive, not just receive. If you have SMS disabled, then you are not going to be able to re-activate. I suggest you contact your carrier and see if you can just get it activated for this purpose. Remember it would be an international SMS. Once you get activated again, contact your carrier to turn it back off again.

    PPlease help.

    Thank you. I found a less drastic solution, even if it required me to read between the lines. At this page: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html, the first step reads, "Make sure your device is running the latest version of iOS." When I encountered my "Verifying" problem, iOS 8.0.2 had just been released.
    So, what solved my problem was, I updated to iOS 8.0.2. After updating, the "Verifying" step completed, and I was able to access my iCloud account settings within the app.
    I would prefer that Apple suggested that one reason I couldn't continue was that I needed to update, but other than that, I am OK with how things turned out.

    Hi, my apple ID verification email does not contain the link for me to click in order to verify my account. Re-submitting has not worked, what can i do to verify/activate my account in order to access Icloud?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information.  Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • Apple ID verification email not received - resend doesn't work either

    Couldn't find Apple ID related community, but I'll post this now here. For some reason I can't receive Apple ID verification email and can't get it either through resend. I tried also with different emails with same result. Is there problem with the mail server?

  • Been waiting 24 hrs for apple ID verification is this normal

    Been waiting 24 hrs for apple ID verification is this normal

    Seems like so many are having the same problem, but Apple has not offered any advice or statements yet.  I was also asked to verify my apple id, but no email arrived and I have been locked out of my itunes account and icloud ever since...this apple id has been verified for many years already and it makes no sense that it needs re-verification.  I researched my account at http:// appleid.apple.com and found that my original apple id ([email protected]) was still associated with my current email address, which happens to be my current apple id as well.  (This merging occurred a few years ago at the request of Apple, mind you.  I did not choose to make this change.  But now my @mac.com original apple id and my current email address are no longer merged for access itunes account.) 
    So, I reverified my original @mac.com apple id which asked for a password change and credit card information for itunes.  I reluctantly did this simply to have access to itunes...but, this created a "NEW" itunes account that is no longer linked to my regular itunes account that I am currently locked out of.  (Strangely, the email address associated with my @mac.com account is the same as my old account....I am totally confused now)
    I then signed into my iCloud account, through my iphone, using the @mac.com account.  And now that part works.  But still locked out of itunes account.

  • What are the payment plans Apple has for international buyers

    what are the payment plans Apple has for international buyers

    There are none.  If you want to buy an iPhone, then you'll need to go and buy one from an Apple store in your country or one of the phone carriers in your country that offer iPhones.  If you live in a country that does not have an Apple store, then go to an Apple re-seller.  You may be able to purchase online if there is an Apple store online for your country.
    These are your alternatives.

  • Received an Apple ID  verification mail

    I have received an mail from apple regarding Apple ID verification, this is the link http://ubuntu.drl.pl/update.php and http://ngooshy.com/Users/Confirm_your_account_Account/44fd27076e3d81dc8fd8bbdd6f cc7030/detail.php?action=detail_login=true
    Revived mail from: [email protected]
    Subject as:
    ✉ Support : Failed to verify your iTunes account !
    Please check and confirm thanks

    It is of course a fake. Apple would not ever use some domain such as "ngooshy.com" or "drl.pl" for anything to do with an Apple account. Assuming you haven't fallen for this scam, just delete the email. Additional information on identifying phishing emails can be found here:

  • HT5085 How come every time I send the Apple ID verification email I never get it. Because it's been a week or two.

    I have been sending the Apple ID verification to myself so I can download apps yet I don't get one. Why is a that?

    yes, lots of option and learing curve steep.
    When you have spot healing brush active look at the toolbar that shows size of brush, mode, etc.  Mode should be in Normal unless you want special effects.
    Also, since this is an auto program, if you have the brush size too large it will sample a larger area, which can introduce artifacts you don't want.

  • I do not receive Apple ID verification email

    I do not receive Apple ID verification email, I have updated my password but the verification email from Apple just doesn't arrive - is there another way to verify?

    I followed the chain of messages above trying to find a solution. I have the same problem. I'm syncing my iPhone 5 to iTunes and keep getting messages about all the content that will not sync because "not authorized." So I try to login to my Apple ID
    - password is wrong
    - try reset password
    - chose "send email" but no email arrives (I even check 'junk' folder to be sure)
    - go back to reset password and try "Answer security questions"
    - says my DoB is wrong but I'm sure it's not wrong
    So what is the solution? Re-purchase all the content that won't sync?
