Facetime and Imessage using cell number.

I am using the Iphone%.
My Imessage and Facetime are showing waiting for activation and then Unseccessful. I can only use my apple ID but not my phone noumber for imessage and Facetime. The conatct noumber is displayed in grey but not ticked also i cant do anything. I tried going to setting message / Facetime and sign out apple id and again sign in. But it still shows waiting for activation and few hours later activation unsuccessful. This is happening since 10 days now. I am able to imessgae and facetime from apple ID but not my Phone Number. Please suggest a remedy. It is much better to use imessage and facetime with the cell number rather than an email address. Please help and advise

Turn off iMessage on the new iPad.
Delete the iCloud account on the iPad, and enter the iCloud acct you used to have for the iPad 2.
That should do it.

    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • Using FaceTime and iMessage when connected to wifi - am I correct this is free and not charged by mobile supplier?

    Using FaceTime and iMessage when connected to wifi - am I correct this is free and not charged by mobile supplier?

    FAcetime and imessage uses internet connection. If you are turning it on only when you are connected to wifi then it is free. However if you leave it on and you are already away from the network then it will be using your data which is provided by your carrier. It will be costly then

  • TS4268 Why FaceTime and iMessage not activated with non US located Apple ID?

    I have an iPad mini and I'm not able to activate FaceTime and iMessage using my apple ID whcih has a country set as Egypt, and when I tried to use another ID with US as country, it working fine.
    Note: I was able to activate iMessage using the Egpytian ID before updating to IOS 6.
    I guess this is a problem with IOS 6 and as a work arround you can chnage the country of you ID to US (if you don't have payment details set) and it will be activated.

    Note: There is no FaceTime app on iPhone. Use the Phone app instead.

  • My Facetime and iMessages are not responding anylonger. When I push the app and put in my Apple I.D.

    The Facetime and iMessages used to work just fine on my iPod Touch.  Now, for some unknown reason, they do not.  When I push the app on my home page, they ask for the Apple I.D. and password and I enter them, then it goes to 'Verifying' and suddenly bounces back to 'Enter Apple I.D. and password' again and again.  I have checked and my I.D. and password are correct.  Does anyone know what could be the problem and how I can fix it?

    If you head to Settings -> General -> Date & Time is it set to Automatic?
    Try a hard reset of your device.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake andHome buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, try using Google's OpenDNS servers to address the issue. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to. Scroll down to the DNSfields and enter in 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

  • How can I verify my phone number to use FaceTime and iMessage instead of email address!?

    My iMessage and FaceTime are both working, but it still says "Waiting for activation.." right under both the FaceTime and iMessage settings. Under the "Receive At" setting, my email address is entered in. When I press on my email address, it takes me to a page shows my Apple ID, my email address, and in gray it says "Vertifying" with my phone number also in gray. I am currently out of the country and am using wifi for my apps, iMessage, FaceTime, and checking email. Why does it still say waiting for activation even though I can use everything fine?

    I want that to be my last option if I need to. I don't want to delete everything and update everything back over. Are the finished with updating the severs? Last night I was unable to sign in using my Apple ID to use FaceTime or iMessage, but now I am logged in, but I can't verify my number. My iMessages are going through with my email instead of my number

    Hello,
    You wont be able to install the latest version of iTunes on this iBook.
    The latest version of iTunes requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
    The iBook will not install Mac OS X 10.6 or higher due to not having an Intel processor.
    With this, you wont be able to sync and iPhone 4,4s or 5 running iOS 6 or higher

    If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

  • How do I switch my email account to cell for FaceTime and iMessage

    How do I switch my email account to cell for FaceTime and iMessages?

    I think you are asking how to use your phone number with FaceTime and Messages rather than an email address, but you must have an iPhone number not just any "cell" phone number.

    FaceTime:
    Check Settings>FaceTime>ON and check Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime>ON.  There is no icon, on the 4 & 4S FaceTime is accessed through contacts.  Go into your Contacts, access the contact you want to FaceTime with and you will see a tab at the bottom of their contact card.  You can also access FaceTime by going into your Phone app, select dialling keypad, dial number, press call and an option for FaceTime on the keypad will appear.   It should be noted that FaceTime has been removed from iPhones sold in some Middle Eastern countries at the express wish of the respective Governments.
    iMessage:
    Check Settings>Messages>iMessage>ON.  The icon is the same as your SMS icon. This support document will explain how to use iMessage http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
