  • Face time shows waiting for activation , what can I do to solve this problem?, face time shows waiting for activation , what can I do to solve this problem?

    when I try to set ON to face time , it shows "WAITING FOR ACTIVATION" and is not changing , please help me to solve this problem.

    Where are you? What network are you on? Where did you get the iPhone?
    FaceTime is blocked in much of the Middle East due to the laws there. Face Time WILL NOT work on the US T-Mobile Network. In order for Face Time to activate, you MUST have a text messaging plan or at least be able to send them (not blocked by the carrier). If you purchased the phone in another country, you MUST be able to send an international text message.

  • IMessage is always showing "waiting for activation"...

    iMessage is always showing "waiting for activation"... Same thing for facetime...
    Do you know any fix for that?

    Hey...  after having the SAME problem activating my iMessage (i had it working and having an factory unlocked iPhone 4S, i swapped SIM's once and then i couldn't get my number to activate again) a wonderful MAC GENIUS from my local store told me a solution that worked for another when all else fails (the DNS, auto-time, resetting, etc).
    Call your carrier to see if they are blocking premium texts or third party texts.. some carriers have an auto-block to protect you from random charges or sometimes (like me) we put the block on ourselves.
    I had my carrier remove this block and PRESTO... after they sent a network reset to my phone and i reset my network settings.. i turned on iMessage and FaceTime and they finally activated again!!! 
    I was able to put the premium block back on after and it still works just fine!!
    Hope that works for those that couldn't get it to activate!

  • 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.

  • Always show"Waiting for activation, it may take some time to"

    I just bought a iphone5,but it always show "Waiting for activation, it may take some time to",i just can use Wifi,don't know what happen

        Congrats on the new phone abochoa! Ann154 & gina7239 are right. The SIM activation can take a bit, and it's best to make sure the SIM was meant for the number you're activating. Here's a great site for help with the initial set up and activation of your new iPhone 5: http://bit.ly/Vl0NrS. If it takes more than an hour to activate, try powering the phone down and removing the SIM for a minute to refresh the phone's connection to the WiFi network and activation process.
    Thank you

    Hi guys,
    I keep getting "waiting for activation" on my iMessage. I can only send/receive iMessage from my email address, NOT my phone number.
    I have done all kind of fixing suggestions that I can find online, but nothing works so far.
    - Date & time set as automatic (I don't know why this matter, but mine was already set as automatic from the begining)
    - Reset network setting
    - Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8.
    - Restore to factory setting (from back up & as new iPhone)
    - Turning on/off iMessage & facetime
    - Sign out/in of apple ID
    - Change location from apple ID
    - Hard reset/reboot
    And many others.
    ...me too. I'm in Portugal having the same issue!! Hopefuly Apple will give us a solution, shortly...

  • IMessage and Facetime stuck at "Waiting for Activation ..."

    Hi,
    After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.2, I noticed that iMessage and Facetime are refusing to get activated using my phone number. I tried all the known solutions on the internet - reset network settings, reset all settings, restore iPhone to factory settings and setting up as new device, trying to activate while in Airline Mode, uncountable reboots (both, hard and regular varieties), updating my Apple ID password - but just no luck.
    Under Settings -- Messages -- iMessages -- Send/Receive, I can see my email addresses listed and checked but my phone number does not appear in the list. If I click on my Apple ID, sign out and tap on "Use Apple ID for iMessage", I am seeing my phone number, but its grayed out. Same applies to Facetime.
    Everything was normal and working before the iOS 8.2 update.
    Did anyone else also face issues activating iMessage and FaceTime post iOS 8.2 update? Or is it only me? :-(
    Thanks in advance,
