My IPhone 5's Imessages just stopped working and I tried restarting and then turning them off and turning them on. It now says "Waiting for activation" and has said this for 15 minutues.
At the time of this post, there seems to be a problem with iMessage and Facetime but only some users are affected.

Lease help me to activate imessage. I now have iPhone 5s and can't activate imessage. I've tried all the normal stuff but nothing is working
i had this problem with my iphone 5c and sorted it contacting apple.
have you tried resetting the network settings? it doesnt delete anything and should work. if it then changes to "waiting for activation", instead of the error message, then leave it for 24 hours (leaving your phone and wifi on) and it should activate and work.
for me, this didnt work after 24 hours. i then backed up my phone and reset it and set it up as a new iphone then restored it using my backup from the computer and it now works -
I don't know what this means when it says that. How do I get my messaging back?
Hello Hiineedhelp,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the Messages app is stuck in actiavtion. Take a look at these steps from this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
When enabling FaceTime or iMessage on an iPhone, you may see "Waiting for Activation". This message refers to the activation of your telephone number only. You can use FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID even if your phone number has not completed activation.You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID here:
Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
If that does not get Messages going again, I would try these steps from toward the bottom:
To sign out of your Apple ID
Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Cheers,

TS4268 imessage says waiting for activation
When i try to use turn on facetime or imessage it gives me "Waiting for activation". Please Help!!!
Try turning them both off, do a reset of the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, try to activate again. The support document that you linked to here is what I would recommend. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
