I'm trying to activate my iMessage & FaceTime with an email on my iPhone 4 , but it keeps saying “waiting for activation..” . So how do I activate it so it can work ?
Yes, I know. But at one point in activating FaceTime or iMessage you will need to be able to send a text message. If you can't, there will be no activation.
Check your device settings
Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.

Why does my phones iMessage keep saying "waiting for activation"
Why does my iPhone's iMessage keep saying "waiting for activation" when I turn on my iMessage
It's waiting for you to reply to a confirmation email that was sent when you added that email address to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
The email is sent immediately. If you have reason to believe it was not sent, tap the blue circled i then either resend the validation email, or remove it. -

Back up, Erase all content and settings, Restore iPhone (downloads fresh iOS), restore from backup. Should fix. You will not lose texts, etc.

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In -

My imessage is working when im signed into my apple id butmy phone number is still not activated, my imessage still says waiting for activation how do i fix it ?
Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage OFF.
Then go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. Your phone will restart. You will not lose any data, but you will have to re-enter any Wi-Fi network passwords.
Once the phone has re-started and you have a network connection (either 3G or Wi-Fi), turn iMessage back ON.
