IMessage not working new sim

I am running a an iPhone 5s on Verizon and I am currently abroad and bought a sim card in Europe frpm Vodafone and my iMessage will I not register my new number when my sim Is in, my friend got one at th same time and theres automatically connected any help?? I tried restoirng phone and it didn't work

Contact the carrier you're using. If the SMS messages that are used for activation can not properly pass back and forth with Apple's activation servers in the UK, then it will not activate with the phone number.

  • IMessage not working on new Macbook Pro.

    iMessage not working on new Macbook Pro. Issue began after I downloaded latest version of Mountain Lion.  After every message it says delivered then immediately a red circle with exclamation point says message not delivered.  Any ideas?

    I can also no longer text on my computer or iPad.  Fine on iPhone.  Same as you - I can see everything up until a specific day.  But I didn't do any kind of update where it should have stopped.  And it stopped working on my computer and iPad at the same time.

  • IMessage not working on 5S and iPad Air issues

    iMessage not working on 5S. Had 3 online chats with apple support but still not fixed. iPad air issues also; safari shuts down a lot on mine and my husbands iMessage not working. iMessage works on his 5S. Never had so many issues with Apple before. I receive SMS messages on 5S but no iMessage. It was suggested to me that I get a new sim or try another wifi, both seem odd given everything else works.
    My husband and I got our phones the same day, his works right, mine doesn't.
    iPad airs were purchased a month apart, mine works ok apart from safari shutdowns and his iMessage not working.
    Also the slider to answer calls on both phones not always working. Had to reboot one of them and it forced us to set it up again from scratch.
    Any ideas?

    restore from backup or restore as new.

  • Imessage not working on my iphone4s

    Hey can someone out there please help me. I got the iphon4s new and the imessage not working. Its saying it waiting on verification.

    I restore my phone and nothing didn't work it went back to the same way it was saying its still waiting for activation. But the weird thing is that my iMessage was still working but it still said waiting for activation. So I don't know what to do anymore. All my apps got deleted but didn't help nothing at all. :(

  • Iphone 4s not recognising new sim card keeps saying sim not valid?

    iphone 4s not recognising new sim card keeps saying sim not valid. Can anyone advise me please?

    There are three possibilities:
    1.  Your phone is locked to a different carrier and will not work with any SIM card except those from that carrier.
    2.  Your new card is from a carrier not supported by the iPhone.
    3.  Your new SIM card is defective.
    In order to determine which is the right answer you could try a different sim from the same carrier or try your new card on a different iPhone.   Also check to make sure your new carrier is a supported carrier.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • IMessage not working even after 'fix'

    My iMessage on my iPhone 4 is not working. Phone is updated to most recent update. Sends iMessages to some people but not others and the people who I cannot send to also can't send to me, regardless of being on wifi or mobile network. I have tried the turn off imessage, reset network settings etc but still no improvement. Would be very helpful if anyone could give me some advice?

    Macrumors posted a solution for this.  I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
    Here's what they said:
    1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
    3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

  • IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

    iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

    You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router.  If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone.  All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
    Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers.  I run my own for example for caching purposes.

  • IMessage not working with some contacts

    I have ipad2, iMessage not working with contacts except between my son and my iPad.  Get a red exclamation mark and send button is greyed out.  Have rebooted, reactivated apple id and email address.  Running latest software. Can anyone help please.

    Imessage only works to other folks who have a device on ios5, and who have activated i message.  In their set up, theyndeclared one or more specific 'receive at' addresses.  Are the folks you are trying to reach on apple devices with i mesage?  The red exclamation means, i think, that the apple server did not find that address as registered.
