Any answers on how to fix it? I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

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:

Can you send SMS by using the mobile data network instead of Wi-Fi? I had the same problem setting up my 5s from a backup of my 4s. Only after I sent an SMS via mobile data network, somehow iMessage and FaceTime got activated a couple of minutes later without me doing anything else.
I even changed my Apple ID password, because at one point I could not log into my account when iMessage asked for my account details.

Can't connect to some numbers on iPhone 4s after updating to iOS 8

Since updating to iOS 8, I can successfully call some numbers, but for some I get a message such as "Welcome to Verizon Wireless. Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again." There's also a mention of "switch 18-2". But I can make the call from a landline. Any fixes?

Try a reset of network settings. To do so, tap on Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will not delete your personal data.

Why does it appear that mi ipad mini Appleid is now in use and I can not activate iMessage or FaceTime?

When I try yo activate my Apple id for face time or iMessage I can not do ir. It says that the Apple id is now in use, ADN that its imposible yo validate.

Is it possible the you are mistakenly trying to create a new account using the existing ID? That would result in the error you describe.

It depends where your Device is from and not where you are using it.

Can not activate imessage and facetime with my number

what i can do ???

IIf the strange SMS are coming from known contacts, that's normal for iMessages that don't arrive and are converted to text. Don't know why but it happens when my bf is overseas and his company phone can't access data - the iMessages he tries to send have a lot of symbols when they come as text but none when the finally arrive as iMessages. Usually it's mostly lots of @@@@@@.
if you didn't buy the phone new, the previous owner may still be linked to the phone and they are his/her messages you are getting. I have seen a lot of posts about this on various forums and can't remember the fix but it's to do with iTunes and you may need to contact the previous owner.
if you did buy the phone new,check with the store that it wasn't used as a demo model. They may be able to assist you setup your messages. If not, you may need to search for solutions online or hopefully someone else who's had the exact issue may be able to help you here. Good luck.
