imessage and facetime says: "waiting for activation" why?
I am not completely sure if iMessage is available in Lebanon as of now, but try this it may help you.
Follow these steps: Settings > Messages > iMessage (click it off, then on) > 'Use your Apple ID for iMessage' > Change to new ID
Do the same with Facetime.

How do I activate iMessage with no email?
This is designed to be a user discussion area. To provide feedback directly to Apple you can go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/
There are a few applications out now that may be able to help you out. 1Password and LastPass are both password vault or lockers. They allow you to save passwords for applications and websites. That way you have a single password you use to keep the vault/locker secure and then all of your other passwords are stored for you so you don't have to write them down or try to remember them all.

My iMessage and Facetime won't activate, says waiting for activation. All photos and contacts are restored, using email and wifi only, no service. Only issue is date and time will not automatically set.
Howdy eewebe13,
So you have no cellular service but are on Wi-Fi yet iMessage and Facetime are waiting for activation.
Please step through this article for that scenario.

I tried to add an email address to imessage as well as my number so my friend could email me from their ipad.
Firstly it said there was a problem with my apple ID password so i reset that (new password works fine, i have been able to download apps etc since!)
Now under iMessage it just says waiting for activation.. and it is only here i get the message saying my password is incorrect?!
I have tried rebooted and restarted phone many times.
I can no longer send imessages to other iphones, just texts! Its driving me mad!
why will it not recognise my password?! i even tried adding an extra email account and verified that with the password - worked fine!

What to do when iphone4 says "waiting for activation" when using facetime?
i had my iphone stolen. & i got a replacment one from verizon, everything was syned well, but i tried to get on facetime & i checked the settings & it say waiting for activation what does that mean?
Hi Flacaas,
Make sure your primary email address is verified by logging into http://appleid.apple.com with your main Apple ID email address.
When that's done, turn off iMessage, reboot your phone (or turn off and turn back on) and try activating iMessage
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Don't understand why my Imessaging stopped working. If I go to settings messages and check out Imessaging it just says waiting for activation.
Change the DNS servers of the wifi network to 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4
Go to settings>general>date&time> set automaticly , turn it on if it wasn't
then settings>general>reset>reset network settings
restart the phone -
facetime is waiting for activation how can i activate
Hey,
Not sure if this will work, but worth a try.
Under Settings>Phone>"My Number"
Check whether you're correct number is entered.,
Also check whether you're Caller Id is ON or not.
As soon as I entered the correct number, I got a request to send a message to activate FaceTime
All The Best. -

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.

My imessage and facetime keeps saying waiting for activation
my imessage and facetime keeps saying waiting for activation and my number does not show up just my old number or just my email address can anyone help me sort this out thanks
Back up, Erase all content and settings, Restore iPhone (downloads fresh iOS), restore from backup. Should fix. You will not lose texts, etc.
