I have problems to activate imessage and facetime on my iphone

i have problems to activate imessage and facetime on my iphone, it doesnt work with my phone number, only with icloud and when somebody tries to contact me on facetime, it show them that im not connected, please help!

Have you tried restarting the phone?  Hold both Home and Power buttons down until Apple logo appears and phone "reboots".
And have you tried resetting Network Settings?
Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings
You will have to re-enter Wifi Passwords but it might help you get to a more solid connection on your phone.

  • Unable to activate iMessage and FaceTime on my current number

    Hi all.
    I have an iPhone 5, I've changed from my Spanish SIM to my English SIM. Now keep getting the activation errors when I try to activate iMessage and FaceTime. It activates to my apple id emails, but my phone number appears dimmed and not ticked. I have tried all the methods I've found online: activating and disactivating, switching my iPhone on and off too, reseting, restoring, changing my apple id password, updating my old number under my apple id to my new one. Nothing has worked. Then I tried to send an iMessage to myself, and I discovered that my number that iMessage can be sent to is my old Spanish number, although the number that appeared under iMessage send and receive is my English one. So I have just tried my Spanish SIM. And iMessage and FaceTime have been activated instantly with my Spanish number. I dis activated again both and put back my English SIM. Now, if I try to activate iMessage and FaceTime, I still get the activation errors, but the number that appears dimmed and not ticked is my Spanish one.
    Quite annoying, and I can't seem to be able to find where the mistake is.
    Thank you for your help.

    Have you tried taking out the sim card and iMessaging using the phone on Wi-Fi only? If it still is an issue then the sim card has nothing to do with it and you would most likely have to do a wipe by Erasing all content and Settings.
    Since you had the phone unlocked and it was activated already with one number... In order to remove that number, so that it doesn't keep being an issue, is to do a full reset. This will allow you to go through the activation process again with the new number being selected for iMessaging if you set up the phone using cellular connection.
    I know this is most likely not the easy solution you were seeking but to be honest... Sometimes starting fresh is a good thing . Good luck sir!

  • Why can't I activate iMessage and FaceTime with phone number?

    Hi, I own an iPhone 4, recently I restored it and now I can't activate iMessage and FaceTime using my phone number.
    I read and performed all the steps shown in apple troubleshooting article about activating iMessage and FaceTime and that didn't work either.
    Before restoring the iPhone both iMessage and FaceTime were working just fine...
    Why is that? What can I do?
    Thanks,
    Konrad

  • Does anybody have a fix with iMessage and FaceTime being stuck on "waiting for activation" for Telstra phone numbers? Thanks!

    I have recentlly moved to Australia with a iPhone 4s bought in the UK. Although; I stopped of in the Philippines and bought a SMART sim there and iMessage and Facetime worked fine (as it did the UK), as I got to Australia: My iMessage and Facetime worked for 2 weeks on a Telstra sim then I turned them off doing something and ever since they have not been able to come back online, they are always going on "Waiting for activation", I have tried restoring my iPhone, following instructions online. Nothing, so I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me.
    Also: My email does work with activating my Facetime and iMessage, it's just trying to activate it on my phone number.
    Many Thanks,

    Please don't post about beta software in the public forums.

  • Is anyone experiencing problems signing into imessage and FaceTime since upgrading iOS 6?

    Since upgrading to iOS 6, is there anyone who  have had problems signing into iMessage and face time? I need some assistance!

    I think I've fixed it !!
    not sure if this will work for everone but I noticed when you go on settings>messages>Send & Receive it was displaying my Apple ID twice and underneath where is says "You can be reached by iMessage at:" , it was displaying my email address twice as well, so I clicked on my Apple ID and signed out, restarted my ipod and signed back into iMessage in the settings and it just displayed my apple ID and email once. Next I restarted my router and my Ipod Touch 4g IOS 6 and it was working again !!! . Not sure if this will work for everyone but I just ****** around with it and it seems to be working for now anyway

  • I cannot activate iMessage and Facetime in my iPad and Macbook Pro

    Hi everyone,
    Last month, my iPad Air 3G (ran iOS 7.2) and my Macbook Pro (ran Yosemite OS 10.10), I could use iMessage and Facetime in both of them normally. But after upgrading iPad to 8.3, I can not sign in with my Apple ID on 2 devices anymore. It always has error: 'Could not sign in with your Apple ID. Please check your internet connection" when signing up in iPad and Macbook Pro.
    I tried many ways: reset network, reset device... with iPad but it didn't work. Please help me. Thanks a lot.

  • Activation Unsuccessful and waiting (iMessage and FaceTime) on an iPhone 4s.

    My iPhone 4s is fully up to date. I have had it around 6 months and generally has been good.
    Unfortunately today I could not send a picture through iMessage (I was at home using the wifi at the time), so i proceded to turn it off and back on again. This then lead to me looking at iMessage and it would not turn on.
    Firstly it said Activation unsccessful and after turning it on and off it now says that it is waiting. I have restored all netwrok settings and done various other things suggested such as checking my number is correct and the time zone is set automatically.
    After all this I still had no use, so I looked at my facetime, turned it on and off, and now I have lost that too. I can send SMS's and recieve them. I can also recieve calls, but I have now got no iMessege and FaceTime which is very annoying.
    If anyone has an further ideas of what to try, I'd be most greatful.

    Hi you guys,four days ago my FT and iMessage worked well on my iPhone 5 IOS6.1.3,but my phone Number did not in the caller ID loop,so I turned both of them off,when I wanted to turn it on again,but failed,I tried so many times,but make no difference,It shows me"waiting for activation".Then I found the solution on internet,and you know there are many possible solutions,just like:
    1.change the wifi DNS to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4.and you must turn your cellular ON.
    2.restore the phone setting.Settings>>General>>reset>>all the phone setting.
    3.restore the network setting.Setting>>General>>reset>>the network setting.
    3.reset the network.
    4.reset your Date&time.Setting>>Date&Time>>set automaticlly>>ON.
    5.change another network to activate.
    6.take out the sim card to activate.
    I did everything,but nothing happend,it still"waiting for activation"
    And today afternoon,i try to activate again,when i turn iMessage on,it activate successfully.OMG,it is really amazing.and the same to my Facetime.
    I am so exciting and strange how it happen...
    I followed all the setting above 1.2.3.4.5.6,the only difference is i turned the "enable 3G" OFF(Settings>>General>>Cellular Data>>Enable 3G>>OFF),but it keep ON before now.
    seriously,i am not sure if the "enable 3G"causes this problem,but it really happened to me,so you guys can try if you have the same problem,
    hope my answer if helpful for you.
