I have an iPhone 4s. Last week imessage just randonly stopped working. Since then I have done the following;
Updated software to 8.1.2
Reset phone
Toggled imessage and FaceTime on and off
Ensured date and Timezone were correct
Signed out of Apple ID and signed back in
Turned Airplane mode on and off
Reset network settings
Kept phone off for 24 hours
Reset all wifi at home
Escalated the problem with Apple
None of the above worked. Can anyone please advise if they have had any success In overcoming this problem?Hi Uma84,

When trying to sign in to Face Time, I continually get "Face time Activation" "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again". I am able to access the internet via Safari, so my network connection seems to be working. What am I doing wrong, and how can I access Face Time?
Hey sklingen,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues signing into FAceTime. The following article may help to resolve your issue:

You may also want to reset your network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.

When I go to settings and choose phone settings I don't see face time activation icon
When I go to settings and choose phone settings I don't see face time activation icon
Where did you get the phone? Facetime is banned in Saudi Arabia and UAE. If the phone came from one of those countries, it is permanently disabled and can not be added to the phone.

Am from India. when i tried to turn on face time the error displayed is" Could not sign in. Check your network connection and try again". how can it be resolved?
If you are using someone else's WiFi they may have restrictions in place.
(cofee shop, etc..)
Have you tried connecting using at least more than one particular WiFi network ?
You might want to try googling for a bandwidth test site
verify you have reasonable throughput..
1 megabit up and 1 megabit down..
(bandwidthplace.com is what I typically use..) -
I have an iPhone 3GS and I restarted it. I have crossed my language, wifi, country and everything, but suddenly when I am done with that and it says "activating iPhone", a message comes time after time "Activation error." What can I do?
Most activation errors happen because a phone has been previously hacked or jailbroken. If this is the case, we cannot help you on this forum. You'll have to look elsewhere for assistance.

Sekhar GThere is no such thing as a FaceTime App in the iPhone. So there is nothing for you to delete and reinstall. FaceTime is built in to the system via Contacts.
Check and see if your carrier supports FaceTime. That may be the problem. -

Greetings Hayg,
It seems you are concerned about the security of your Apple ID. That does sound troublesome. Changing your Apple ID password may help you resolve this:

Face time activation - an error occurred while verifying your email
i can't get facetime to work on my iPad - i go to settings add my account details and password (i know they are correct as i just logged onto my apple account and they worked fine) - and when i click on "next" the message that comes up is "an eror occurred while verifying your email" - i've rebooted etc but i can't get it to work - on ios5 it was no problem..help!
ever figure this out? having a similar issue with a mac.com address...
we have a central mac.com email address with several aliases attached to it...all but 1 of those aliases have been successfully setup on separate ipods or iphones except for my wife's.
under "Messages," my wife has the central mac.com address and her phone number as eligible contacts. when i try to add her mac.com alias it bugs out and gives me the "verifying your email" error...also immediate...no chance it's really pinged anything in the time it took to display the error. -
