Back up, Erase all content and settings, Restore iPhone (downloads fresh iOS), restore from backup. Should fix. You will not lose texts, etc.

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,
S Ray

I'm trying to activate my iMessage & FaceTime with an email on my iPhone 4 , but it keeps saying “waiting for activation..” . So how do I activate it so it can work ?
Yes, I know. But at one point in activating FaceTime or iMessage you will need to be able to send a text message. If you can't, there will be no activation.
Check your device settings
Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In -

Why does my phones iMessage keep saying "waiting for activation"
Why does my iPhone's iMessage keep saying "waiting for activation" when I turn on my iMessage
It's waiting for you to reply to a confirmation email that was sent when you added that email address to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
The email is sent immediately. If you have reason to believe it was not sent, tap the blue circled i then either resend the validation email, or remove it. -
