IMessage and Factime will not activate

Hey everyone, I have ran into an issue where my iPhone 4S cannot activate iMessage or FaceTime. My phone is not jail broken and I have tried almost everything I have read about on the Internet. Can anyone help me with this issue?? I moved to a community in northern Ontario when I don't have 3G service however it has worked for 6 months while I have been here and now all of a sudden just stopped working. Can I fix this issue with wifi only or do I need 3G service to fix this??

This should help.  WiFi should be sufficient - you should not need 3G as long as your telephone number still works.

  • IMessage and FaceTime will not activate.

    I have an iPhone 4S iOS 6.1.3 on Verizon. My iMessage and FaceTime will not activate.
    I have wiped my phone multiple times trying both setting up as a new iPhone and restoring from back up.
    I've also reset the settings and network settings.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    To activate you need to be able to send SMS and in some cases that is an international SMS.  The SMS is hidden and goes to a numbe rin the UK starting with +44.  Are you able to send international SMS?  Check with your carrier.  Read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268

  • Imessage and facebook will not activate

    I have changed my apple ID password, and since then my imessage and facetime will not activate, it says: "Could not sign in. Please check your network and try again." My internet connection is fine, my username/new password have been entered correctly, my time/date are correct, I have the latest software installed, and I have turned it on and off again, yet the same problem keeps arising.
    Could anybody help (I have the iphone 5, if this helps).
    Thank you in advance.

    You can not update an iPod Touch 3rd Generation to iOS 6.
    Only iPod Touch 4th generation can update to iOS 6.
    iPod Touch 5th Generation will come with iOS 6 already installed.
    Check this page out:
    http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new scroll to bottom of page to "iOS 6 is compatible with."
    You will have to place your device into recovery mode and set up as new.

    Hi Heva79!
    You may want to try simply restarting your phone to see if you are able to get past that page after a restart. Instructions for doing this can be found here:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are still experiencing this issue after a restart, you may want to attempt the steps for a reset as outlined in that same article. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • I reset my second hand iphone and it will not activate.

    i bought a second hand iPhone, and just recently found out it was jailbroken, i reset it and now it will not activate. i try to sync it with iTunes and says i have not inserted a sim, when i have. would anybody please be able to help me?

    You restored the iPhone.
    If the iPhone was hacked to be unlocked, restoring a hacked iPhone re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with then new.

  • Just paid for Acrobat XI and it will not activate and start working.

    The Acrobat 'help' just puts me into frustrating circles and avoids actually allowing me to contact anyone for assistance. I have paid for a product which will not work even though I have a serial number.  Help please?
    I get a messaage when i attempt to open a previous pdf file which tells me the serial number is valid but a qualifying product could not be found.  I t asks me to choose one - I have no idea what to choose or why it is asking me to choose.

    Hi,
    If this is the case the web site download details are very missleading.  I
    am aware that it is an upgrade, however, I was under the impression it was
    an upgrade on the basic adobe acrobat must PC's use to access PDF files.
    This is what I originally had on my PC.  Now I cannot even access those
    files.
    If this download I have purchased will not up-grade my current Adobe
    Acrobate, I would appreciate a complete refund.
    I also want to point out, considering the amount of pc users using adobe
    products, the customer service access is the worst I have ever encoutered -
    in fact,  access to immediate assistance is impossible and links to 'help'
    simply open 'frequently asked questions' pages or back to 'log in' pages.
    I have never been so frustrated and dissatisfied with such a huge
    co-orporation's product and product service.
    Seeing as you seem to know what the issue is with my PC, please resolve my
    issue either by getting your product to work, or re-funding my money.
    Regards
    B. Goorney

  • I just got my new iPhone 6 and it will not activate in iTunes.  Getting error message 56.

    I am a verizon customer.  I put in the new sim card and called them to activate it.  I then plugged my phone into my computer and tried updating it in itunes.  It keeps giving me an error 56 and won't update.

    1.  Most USB ports do not put out enough power to charge and iPad.  This is why your iPad was supplied with an iPad specific 10W Wall Charger.  It is what you use to charge iPad.
    2.  Do you have the latest version of iTunes on your home computer?  It is required to use iPad in iTunes.
