Iphone 4s imessaging and facetime wont activate!

I have signed into my itunes account on my iphone, but everytime I try to activate Imessaging and Facetime it tells me "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I have tried this in several wifi areas and it proceeds to tell me the same thing. I have made sure I have verified my appleid and tried all the troubleshooting intructions, but nothing seems to work. Now I cannot receive any notifications for any of my apps and when i get on to the app it tells me "Connect to iTunes to use puch notifications." And yes I have connected to iTunes through the computer and still couldnt figure out a solution. I dont understand what else the problem could me??

I've got the same problem as above with my 4S with same error about my Internet Connection. I've tried signing in to both FaceTime and iMessage using both 3G and WiFi and always get the same error - "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." but can sign into iTunes and this Forum no problems with same ID. My FaceTime and iMessage worked earlier on iOS6 but I just upgraded to 7 and now get these problems. Can it be a problem with the upgrade and 4S's??

My imessage and facetime wont activate on my iPhone 5

i just restored my phone yesterday, then backed it up from icloud and my computer, i was activating my imessage and facetime but it would say waiting for activation for hours, its been over 12 hours now and it still has not activated.
I've tried everything, ive restarted it, wiped it completly again, signed out of my apple id back in. Ive checked to make sure there are no restrictions set. My facetime won't even set up with my apple id, it says i have a network problem but my wifi is fine.
If you have any idea how to fix this or to contact another apple support that would be great thanks.

My iMessage and Facetime wont activate on my phone

what do I do? I'm with Wind could this be the problem?
somemore details, it will always say activation unsuccesful

Do a search here on the forum for Wind. I've recalled reading some issues with them. I believe I also saw a post where they are supposed to have a link on their website regarding this, but it is reported that not everything works well with them and the iPhone.

After updating to iOS 8.2 on the iPhone 4S, iMessage and FaceTime no longer work properly.

After updating to iOS 8.2 on the iPhone 4S, iMessage and FaceTime no longer work properly. constant hovering and disconnect from the service.
Also, I noticed that going to the settings section is disabled service "Find iPhone".
To get to the point tinctures "Messages" and "FaceTime" takes a few minutes.

Hi Bowlover526. I had a similar problem and was able to solve the issue by changing the Date & Time setting to set automatically.
From the Home screen, choose Settings→General→Date & Time.
Turn the Set Automatically option to On
Then try to log in to iMessage or Facetime. Hopefully, this will solve your issue. Best of luck!!

Hi Natasha,
Below is a copy of my post in another thread on this topic. I'm not sure which country you are from, but hope it's helpful.
Possible fix for Australian users on Telstra and using Tango
I'm using the iPhone 5S with iOS 7.0.1 on a contract with Telstra in Australia and have been experiencing the problem with iMessage and FaceTime not activating. My iPhone 4S on iOS 6 worked perfectly on the same network however.
I seem to have now fixed this issue by removing the Tango app (it is similar to Skype). Reading through this thread and seeing the refernces to TuGo triggered my solution, although I believe the 2 apps are entirely unrelated (just have a similar sounding name).
This fix may have been co-incidental, given that I had to wait quite a while for a sync with iTunes to complete. After syncing, I didn't check the settings for Messages and FaceTime to see if they had been activated. I just went straight to the Tango app on the iPhone and deleted it - hey presto, instantly both Messages and FaceTime were activated.
Hope this helps others in Australia who may have Tango installed, and are on the Telstra network.

Imessages and Facetime cannot activate

Hi all,
I am having difficulties with activating Imessages and Facetime on iPhone 4 iOS 6.1.3, I spent 5 days and there is no result.
Only my email is available sometimes, but my number failed with the activation.
I have tried everything I found on the inet... several restores, checked the auto date & time set, ON => OFF the activation several times...checked the restrictions, called to the carrier to check are there any problems on their end ( my sim services had been restared, all is working on the carrier end ).... tried to activate iMessages and Facetime by WiFi, by 3G... even from different parts of the city and there is NO result, both are still stucked.
For the last month I have used 4 different iPhones - 4, 4S, 3GS, 4... all of them had been restored, when my sim card was out.. so my number is not logged on any of them. iMessages and Facetime was working till the moment I put my sim card in the 3GS ( using an adapter for the sim ).
Please guys, give me some support... I really dont have an idea what I can do more to fix it.

There was a problem with both iMessage and Facetime yesterday. The Status page says that it has been resolved. However, based on the number of posts from people who are still reporting issues, I suspect that things are not quite back online for everyone. Annoying though it may be, you may just have to wait it out.
Best of luck.

Why my iphone's iMessage and Facetime can't be activated?

hi, I just bought an iphone4 from the Mississauga apple store two days ago, the iMessage and Facetime can't be activated, so these things are what I tried: (my SIM card matches with my iphone, have a valid carrier, and I paid my bill and have a valid phone number)
1. I connected my iphone to the wifi, and make sure it works,
2. created an account on apple store, and make sure it has been logged on,
3. logged that e-mail account that I used to creat apple account on to my iphone ---> Mail,
4. go to Settings ---> iMessage, and turned it on, and did whatever it told me to do, then it just saying:"Waiting for activation..." for 2 or 3 hours, and told me that activation failed, and the same thing goes with the Facetime.
I tried with each of them 3 times, none of them are working, so I give up, and asked my friend use to working at the ginues bar in an apple store to help me, so:
He download iTunes onto my PC, connected my iphone to my PC, and logged my apple account onto iTunes, then did the PC and iphone thing which I don't really understand, and redo what I did above, and my iMessage and Facetime still can't work, and use he's iphone to call mine with facetime, use mine to call his with facetime, none of the calls worked.
At the end, we even dialed #*5005*7672# to check the SMS service centre number.
***BTW, I CANNOT even send text messages to my friends, I can only call them.
Is there anything else I can try to make the iMessage and facetime working? Or should I just go to the store and ask for an exchange or refund?
T_T, I just can't believe I can't even send out text messages with the iphone which even the unsmart phones can do.
Help me, plzzzzzz
Kate

Hey Bogdannae,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You might need to user recovery mode since it is staying at the Apple logo.

Imessage and facetime wont work

First I should say that this problem is on my friends ipod, not mine. She's been explaining everything to me calling me through her iPad and showing me what's been happening to her iPod touch 5. She doesn't have an iPhone, so she wants to fix this. Okay, second I should say is her iMessage and FaceTime IS NOT WORKING! Her iPod can't send or receive texts, and we've testing it out multiple times. We try to go into the iMessage app it shows NOTHING! Just BLANK! She tried to facetime through Siri and Siri says "I'm really sorry about this but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while." She says the same when asked to text someone too And no matter what we do, it Still doesn't work. she says something else's too if we again but we forgot what she says. And when my friend tries to go to the facetime app it shows her contacts but she can't click them or scroll down. So we've tried syncing her iPod through her computer but it started downloading thousand of music that she didn't want so we canceled it. Then we tried resetting the network settings and put her wifi code back in which did not work at all either. Also, when we go into settings and click either facetime or iMessage, the screen freezes when we click on one of them and of course, doesn't work. Lastly, She can go into contacts and scroll around and do whatever she wants, but when he clicks on someone, it only shows me their email and phone number but it doesn't show the little icons to text or FaceTime. We have no idea what to do. HELP!!!!!!!!!

IPhone 6 iMessage and FaceTime will not connect.

I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 from a 5 and now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime. I checked all of the troubleshooting tips and actually went through all just to make sure it's not something I'm doing. I still get a connection error on iMessage when I try to connect using my Apple ID and password. The message I get is "Could Not Sign In. Please check your network connection and try again". This continues to happen for many hours. I reset the network connection, made sure my phone number was in the right place on the phone, checked my credit card on the Apple ID, etc. Nothing works. Any help out there?

I have the same problem with my iPhone 6. It seems that my wifi connection will go down after using iMessage, Facetime or other apps. However if I go to settings to check my wifi connection, it shows connection, but there is no internet connection. I have tested my wifi connection with other devices, and they are running perfectly.
I think there is still a bug in the iOS 8.0.2 concerning the WiFi.

5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo
