Facetime/Imessage issues on Iphone 4 on wifi-ios6

I have an Iphone 4 that is only used now for facetime and imessage.  Neither FACETIME or IMESSAGE will work now since upgrading to ios 6.
It states waiting for activation.  I have turned both IMESSAGE and FACETIME on and off multiple times, turned the phone off and on, checked general settings, the restrictions settings...nothing works now.  The Messages won't send and the facetime attempts to connect and then drops.
This needs to be fixed ASAP.
This is madness.
Please help.
Thanks

Also, keep in mind we have no way of knowing what steps have already been taken unless you tell us.  Leaving details out in the original post is simply a waste of everyone's time.
Good luck on getting your issue resolved considering your attitude.

  • Facetime/iMessage issue

    Hi. I have an unusual behavior in my iPad. I did this in two different iPads and I have the same issue.
    I’ve set up my iPad in my wifi network. Everything worked fine, including Facetime and iMessage. When I move to my parents’ house (different wifi network) Facetime and iMessage stop working. Everything keep working fine (internet, app store, itunes, skype, etc) but those two did not work. To make them work I needed to reset the iPad (Settings – General – Reset – Reset All Settings) and setup it again in my parents’ home. Any advice to diagnose/fix this? Because I have a new iPad and I have the same issue now…
    Thank you

    Actually, one those phones were purchased in Malaysia, and I remember that Malaysian iPhones and Singaporian iPhones share the same model number. Are you saying that this is a hardware issue? I was just thinking that it the problem was because I am using an Apple ID associated with the American iTunes store, on my iPhone, and the phone might be trying to activate by sending a message to an American carrier.

  • IMessages sending to iPhone without data/wifi

    Hi all,
    When I text my friend with my iPhone it goes through and says "delivered" however it is sending through as iMessage. My friend however has no data plan. I thought it was when she had wifi but the times I texted, she didn't and it still went through as an iMessage. I checked her settings and texts/messages only send/receieve to that number, and same with mine. When I send the message, I try and highlight the message to see if it will allow me the option of "sending as text message" but it sends right away, the message "delivered" comes up and when I highlight the message my only option is to "copy."
    This has never happened before, only within the last two to three weeks. I don't know if it's an update issue but it's bugging the both of us. I tried the exact same situation with my brother who has data (and I put his iMessages off) and it will automatically go through as a text message. So now it comes down to me always having to go to my iMessages options and disabling it just to send a text to my friend which should regularly just go through.
    Any help is much appreciated!!

    Figured it out:
    She recently enabled iMessages on her iPad. All the messages were sending there...but what still confuses me is that the messages went through even when she didn't have wifi on either devices...
    ah well. I'll save that for another day. I've solved my frustrations lol. Thanks for the help!

  • Imessage issue with Iphone 5 and Ipad mini

    I recently upgraded my phone from the Iphone 4 to the 5s and ever since it was activated, I have stopped received imessages on my Ipad mini. iMessages used to be delivered to both devices. For some addional context, I have tried sending messages from my ipad and contacts report that it comes from my email address now rather than my phone number, however, I never made any changes to the settings the ipad, the only change was the activation of my new phone. I did go in to Settings>messages on my Ipad, and I message is on, and under send/recieve all I see is my email address, but it will not allow me to add a phone number. Can anyone help me? I'd love to have my messages be delivered to both devices again.

    log out of imessages on all devices.
    log back in on the iphone and wait until the phone number has activated.
    then log back into imessage on the ipad and then select to send and recieve from the phone number and to start new conversations from the phone number

  • Has anyone had issues with iPhone 5 on wifi, mines keeps dropping the wifi signal.

    Has anyone else experience this issue?

    I have had that issue with no text alert sound and also with calls, no ring for the call but then I got a missed call or voicemail alert. Never had the blurry lines though. Right after I upgraded, the ring changed to a very short version of what I have selected and only rang once, other times not at all. This was a very big problem since I am working from my car most of the day and get a lot of calls and texts.  I did a reset with home button and button on the top as described in a post somewhere here on the forum and the problems stopped. So far so good. Give reset a try!

  • How do i use imessage and facetime on my deactivated iphone 4

    I got the new iphone 5s and so now my iphone 4 is deactivated. I am trying to let my sister use my deactive iphone 4 in wifi to facetime and imessage me. How do I do that?

    What do you mean by deactivated? If you just mean it no longer has a sim card the 4 will work as it did except make phone calls.
    Otherwise:

    I have two IPhones and one IPad all with the same Apple ID. I can call facetime between the two IPhones, but I cannot call the IPAD from either of the IPhones and when I call my IPhone from the IPad it rings my wife's IPhone after briefly calling mine.

    Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

  • Hi All, I have an Issue with iMessages working from iphone 4s but not from macbook air

    Hi everyone, I'm new to MAC's but have had an iphone for a while, so much so I had an iphone 4 but got an iphone 4s, I gave my 4 to my dad, and after recantly buying a MBA tried to imessage the old man but his name turns red and will not allow me to  send a message, I can however imessage him from my phone, I have the same issue with two other friends, but I know Imessage works on my MBA as I have two other people it works with (On the side the group Imessage is so cool) we did have an issue with facetime not recognising him untill he switched it off and on from system prefrance on his iphone, not sure if this is related or if this is a MBA issue or iphone issue, but could do with some help as I'm an Apple convert and I'm now hoping to convert the old man who loves microsoft, I told him how 'Apple just work' and at the moment have egg on my face
    Please help all surgestions greatlly reacived

    When sending a message from Mountain Lion's Message program, you should be careful about the recipient's address.  When you send a message to your dad, you should send it to his iPhone's phone number.
    Also, on your Mac's Messages > Preferences > Accounts, you should be logged in under your Apple ID (which is hopefully different from your dad's).
    Enjoy your Apple gear!  Indeed, it does "just work".

  • I cannot access my facetime and imessage as my iphone 5s is not automatically recognising my phone number

    Hello,
    i registered my facetime and imessage with my phone number not my apple id. i changed from iphone 4s to iphone 5s, i cant login now as my iphone isnt recognising my number

    Hi faithmeg,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing, and/or what you are seeing when you try to login on your new iPhone 5s. Usually, when FaceTime/iMessage is used with a phone number, that phone number and the Apple ID are linked, as outlined in the following article:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    If you are having issues signing in or activating FaceTime/iMessage on your new iPhone, you may also find the troubleshooting outlined in this article helpful:
