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:
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone

HT204053 Can I have 4 apple IDs under one purchasing account for using iMessage and FaceTime?

I have an iPhone, an itouch, an iPad and my kids each have an itouch as well as my bf who has an iPad mini. Is there a way that we can use iMessage and FaceTime with each other? All devices use one account for purchases. Can we each have an ID without losing our music and movies?

Thank you for the reply... But now, I have to ask, HOW?! Lol I have added and verified their emails, but I don't think that's the same is it? I basically need step by step instructions. Maybe I just missed it, but I have searched how to do this and can't figure it out. So any help would be greatly appreciated... We each have a couple hundred various songs and movies etc downloaded, but all registered and synced to my account and I really don't want to have to buy duplicates of one direction, Taylor Swift, etc. ☺ so to anyone who can give me a hand... Thank you in advance.

Why won't my number highlight in the send and receive when using iMessage and FaceTime

My imessage and facetime turned off and won't turn back on and in my send and receive section it will only highlight my email not my phone number

Hello Torijada,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you linked the phone number to iMessage and iMessage wont turn on. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

The telephone number will be dimmed when you view these settings on an iPhone.

Can't use iMessage and FaceTime on my iPad 2 since iOS 7

With iOS 6.1.3 I could use FaceTime and iMessage perfect. Yesterday I updated my iPad (2) to iOS 7 and both Apps said there's a Restriction with this iPad. What can I do?

I was having the same problem on my iPad mini until just a few minutes ago. It kept telling me to check my network, which was working fine with all the other devices in my house. I recently noticed all my FB.posts weren't reflecting the proper time so I checked my Date and Time settings. Sure enough, it was wrong. I adjusted it to the correct time and time zone, logged back into iMessage and now it connects just fine.
I hope this works for you as well.

I have signed in using my Apple ID to use iMessage and FaceTime, but it's still waiting for activation?

If anyone could please help me, that would be much appreciated :)
I have a full wifi connection and my Apple ID signs into the App Store so I know everything's working, but I don't know why it isn't activating my FaceTime and iMessage

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

I can't use iMessage and FaceTime

hello when I try to connect to imessage or facetime told me that he is a server problem and I can not successfully connect to me, I tried several times already but its not working thank you to help me

1. Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
2. From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
3. Back up all data, then take the steps suggested in this support article.
There are five steps in that article. Please take all of them. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
4. Reset the NVRAM.

Ipad wifi version cant use imessage and facetime.

I had tried for few days to send message from my ipad2 (wifi) ,but unfortunately I cant recieve any message or sending message to other iphone user.
In addition, Facetime also cant function. anyone know how to solve it?

Ditto.
Try to turn off the iCloud and iMessages, reboot, and turn them back on.
This has worked, but not for very long. Expect to repeat the procedure often until we get a fix.

TS3988 In my settings I am trying to use my iMessage and face time through my phone, but it is frozen saying "waiting for activation..." How do I fix this so I can iMessage and FaceTime?

I am trying to turn on my IMessage and FaceTime features on my iPhone 4S. When I go to settings, iMessage or FaceTime, and turn them on, it is frozen saying "waiting on activation..." How do I fix this so I can use my phone?

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

HT5622 Ipad 3 version 6.1.3 will not let me use iMessage or FaceTime!

"Sign in with you Apple ID..." I do and I get a message that says "Could not sign in. Please check your network conn. and try again" I can use the safari app on my ipad and browse the internet. I am able to use iMessage and FaceTime on my Iphone 4 so I'm kind of confused. I don't know how to solve this issue. I've already tried the DNS thing, time-zone thing, restore, reboot, you name it, I tried it. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? The last message I received or sent out was on Aug. 28, 2013.. I'm not sure when it stopped working but I noticed this problem last week. HELP pleaseeee!

I want to set up iMessage and Facetime for my daughter. I know I have to create a new apple ID but can I still sync her iPod to my iTunes account?

I bought my daughter an iPod touch for Christmas. I orginally set up her iPod with my Apple ID but I realized that she needed her own apple ID in order to use iMessage and Facetime with me. So if I create an Apple ID for her, can I link it to my email? Will I still be able to sync her iPod to downloaded songs from my Apple ID?

No, sorry. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID & Account used when making the purchase. Purchases cannot be transferred to another AppleID.
