My facetime and iMessage will not activate with my apple ID
Ever since I got the phone I can not activate facetime or iMessage on my iPhone 4S, Every time I try to activate in with my apple ID and password it says waiting for activation and when I try to sign in a message pops up and says could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again. It has nothing to do with the network connection because no matter what wi fi I am on it says the same message. Help Please!
I found the fix for the error. Took me a few different tries but I got it to work. You have to completely reset your phone (erase all content and settings) and set it as a, "new phone". I advise you to copy all the information that you want/need onto iCloud first. After I did this my facetime and imessage worked perfectly! Hope this helps.
On a side note as well your contacts won't be erased either but save them on iCloud just in case.

My iMessage will not activate with my phone number when I recieved a new apple ID.
I made a new apple ID because my old one would not let me download any new apps from the app store.
Everything works great with my new appleID EXCEPT it will not let me use imessage with my phone number.
I have tried network resets, turning on/off the restrictions, everything.
Plus... if and when i get iMessage to verify with my phone number.. How do I connect my Macbook, iPad, and iPhone to all sync with my NEW apple ID and get my iMessage working on all three of them with my phone number?iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About payment card authorization holds

HT4623 loaded ios7 and now imessage will not activate
can anyone help... updated iphone 5 with ios7 and now imessage will not activate?
Your device has previously been hacked or jailbroken to unlock it for use on other carriers.
Updating has likely bricked the device. -

I just updated my phone to iso 7 and it will not activate my push notifications or facetime and I'm connected to wifi help???
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!

TS4268 Face time or iMessage will not activate
I have done everything the support page says but I keep getting the grey box that says no network connection when I try to activate my Face Time. Yet I have not changed any settings and Face Time was working fine last week. The only thing that I have done at the beginning of the week was back up my iCloud. A info box popped up on the screen telling me to back it up, but I couldn't get the box to go away. I couldn't even turn my iPad off the normal way. Instead I had to press both buttons at the same time to restart my iPad and since then I can't get Face Time or my IMessages to work. But obviously my intent connection is fine since I can post this message. Please help me.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Imessage will not activate on Iphone 5, iOS 6.0.2.
Imessage will not activate on iphone 5, iOS 6.0.2. My apple ID and password are correct, and I have wifi. I try to log in and it says "could not sign in. please check your wireless connection and try again". Help!
You could try activating it while connected to a different wifi network. You could also see if your router has a firmware update available and changing your router's settings to use Google's public DNS to see if that helps (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).
