Does anybody have a fix with iMessage and FaceTime being stuck on "waiting for activation" for Telstra phone numbers? Thanks!

I have recentlly moved to Australia with a iPhone 4s bought in the UK. Although; I stopped of in the Philippines and bought a SMART sim there and iMessage and Facetime worked fine (as it did the UK), as I got to Australia: My iMessage and Facetime worked for 2 weeks on a Telstra sim then I turned them off doing something and ever since they have not been able to come back online, they are always going on "Waiting for activation", I have tried restoring my iPhone, following instructions online. Nothing, so I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me.
Also: My email does work with activating my Facetime and iMessage, it's just trying to activate it on my phone number.
Many Thanks,

Please don't post about beta software in the public forums.

  • Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and a good program to detect one on your mac? I think I may have one.

    So yesterday I found out that my email address password had been changed. I don't remember doing this, but it is possible I changed it a while back and considering I keep my email constantly logged in. But at the same time, two of my apps were trying to access their "store". I play a game called League of Legends, which has an online store, and it randomly came up with the message "Could not connect to Maestro" (credit card). Then, Itunes (which I rarely use) came up with "sorry, we could not continue with your purchase". I think it's very strange that all of this happened at the same time, but hopefully it's a case of a forgotten password and two games bugging/crashing. I scanned my entire computer with iantivirus and it hasn't found anything, but I've heard keyloggers can be a bit hard to detect. Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and if so, what program did you use to detect and destroy it?

    If you think that a keylogger has been installed the only safe thing you can do is erase your drive and reinstall.
    I don't think that is the case however.

  • I have problems to activate imessage and facetime on my iphone

    i have problems to activate imessage and facetime on my iphone, it doesnt work with my phone number, only with icloud and when somebody tries to contact me on facetime, it show them that im not connected, please help!

    Have you tried restarting the phone?  Hold both Home and Power buttons down until Apple logo appears and phone "reboots".
    And have you tried resetting Network Settings?
    Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re-enter Wifi Passwords but it might help you get to a more solid connection on your phone.

Everything has been carried over fine but i have been unable to switch on Imessage and Facetime, Error message shows 'Waiting for Activation' I've done the the resets and followed the instructions from the Apple Help page but still can't get it to switch on??

    If you say you have done everything in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268, then you should probably contact your carrier for their advice.

    :go to settings on ipad, click on wifi, then on the right hand side just next to your wifi name there is a blue arrow, click on the blue arrow & look below, there will be a field called DNS, IN the DNS server field just copy and paste the following DNS servers, do not edit anything , just put as it is and also make sure they are no spaces at the start or at the end

  • HT5538 Hi there. I have tried everything to make iMessage and FaceTime to work with my number but it won't let me do it. I am moreover concerned as I have another sim forum my same carrier and it works fine with iMessage and FaceTime. I I really need help

    Hi I have tried all the tricks from the support to have iMessage and FaceTime running but it is impossible for me to activate these apps with my phone number. Problem is I have another sim from the same carrier and I am able to do it on that one.
    I am desperate for a help!
    Thanks a lot

    Can you make phone calls on the phone that won't activate?   Is it only iMessage and Facetime that isn't working?   What about data - can you access the internet?
    Your last statement didn't make much sense to me:  " I still can have the apps working but only from an email"
    Pls explain that clearly.

  • ICloud account doesn't work with iMessage and Facetime

    Very simply my iCould account (Appleid) will not work with iMessage or Facetime.  This is affecting my iPad 2, iPhone 4 and Macbook which are all running the most up to date OS version available.  I always get the error message "This email address cannot be used for iMessage." when I try to add that address to the "Receive at" list.
    I have wasted weeks investigating this and think it may be an issue with the setup of my Appleid.  My partner's account will work in all the scenario's I have a problem with and after comparing the accounts using https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ the difference seems to be that my partners Apple ID and Primary Email Address is also listed as a Verified Alternate Email Address...
    While for my appleid only my Gmail address is listed as an alternative...
    Apple will not allow me to add my Primary Email Address as an Alternate Email Address.
    Has anybody else had this problem and if so how on earth did you fix it.  Apple support have not been particularly useful and I would really like to make full use of iMessage and Facetime on my iPhone, iPpad and Macbook.
    Thanks
    Robyn

    I don't think there is much wrong with your set up as I see it. Using the same alternate address as your primary address is not a good idea, if there is something wrong with your iCloud account and Apple need to contact you they can't. I believe (but may be wrong), that for this reason Apple will no longer let you do this and why you get the error message you do. Your partner may have set hers up before Apple made this a requirement.
    Are you able to receive email on your phone via your me address, do you have your me address listed alongside your card in contacts, do you have the email address entered as your ID or alternate address in settings > Facetime.

  • My iCloud Alias Doesn't Work With iMessage and Facetime

    I created a new iCloud .me account that also has an alias. I don't want to use my main iCloud account. I tried using my iCloud alias, but iMessage and Facetime won't allow me to use them. Why can't I use my alias account? Is the main iCloud account the only one allowed?

    Is everyone just confused about iCloud aliases? Nobody has an answer to this?

    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
