Have you updated your iOS to 5.1? Just confirming as it says "iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1" in your thread.
Double check if you have credit in your mobile in order to activate iMessage.
Turn iMessage off and on again, than turn off your phone (long press display off and on button) and slide to turn off. Turn your phone back on, enter your "Apple I.D" in the iMessage window and wait till it verifies everything.
Tell us if it solves the issue.

Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If restarting doesn't help, reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't help, sign out in Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad, sign in again and try iMessage again.

I cannot activate iMessage on my iphone4. When I enter my apple ID it keeps saying An error occurred during activation try again. Can anybody helpn

I cannot activate Imessage on my iphone 4. When I enter my Apple ID it keeps coming up with 'An error occurred during avtivation. Try again' Can anybody help ?

It seems a lot of people are having this problem...you can try restarting your device, making sure Date & Time settings are on automatic, or changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8. However, most people posting about this problem have tried everything including data resets, restores, etc. and it doesn't seem to work. It seems to be an issue on Apple's end with the servers...hopefully they can resolve it quickly

I cannot activate iMessage on my iPod touch

I get a "cannot activate iMessage" note when trying to sign in. iMessage works perfectly with my iPhone on the same network. I have restored the iPod. I have turned on and off wifi. I have adjusted DNs to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4. I have reset the iPod. But no luck activating. I have also checked date and time are auto updated. Software is up to date. Location services is on. I have literally gone through all trouble shooting available online. Have I missed any tricks?

You can try here:
Can't Activate FaceTime
However, I suspect an Apple server problem. Many users have been reporting problems with Messages and Facetime today.

I cannot activate iMessage and Facetime in my iPad and Macbook Pro

Hi everyone,
Last month, my iPad Air 3G (ran iOS 7.2) and my Macbook Pro (ran Yosemite OS 10.10), I could use iMessage and Facetime in both of them normally. But after upgrading iPad to 8.3, I can not sign in with my Apple ID on 2 devices anymore. It always has error: 'Could not sign in with your Apple ID. Please check your internet connection" when signing up in iPad and Macbook Pro.
I tried many ways: reset network, reset device... with iPad but it didn't work. Please help me. Thanks a lot.
Regards
