My iMessaging won't work on my new iPhone due to "network connection". Why can't I sign in?

I try to log into it and it says: "iMessage Activation- Could not sign in. Please Check your network connection and try again." I'm connecting to my houses Wi-Fi and can make calls and regular texts. How can I fix this?

HI Friend,
Try to unsign and sign in again.
For iMessage chosse to use your Apple ID instead of your mobile number.
Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and check if your Apple ID was set or not. If not, set it properly.
If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").
Also check in: Settings>>Message if you turned on iMessage before. Here, turn off "Show Subject Field".
Did you turn on iCloud as well?
Hope it will be helpful

If you are sure that you are entering the correct password, then this sounds like an iPhone issue, so your best bet will be to post in the iPhone Support Community so that the experts over there can help.

Help! My iMessage doesn't work on my new iPhone 5s, I've changed my sim twice, but iMessage only works with my Apple ID.

Recently got a new iPhone 5s and the iMessage doesn't work. I tried the sim in another phone and it didn't work either so I put a completely new sim in my iPhone and iMessage doesn't work. It will only work when I use my Apple ID for received messages. I don't know what to do. I have reset everything and it still doesn't work. My software is up to date. Please help!

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

My ipod won't work on my new iphone 4S, help!

I boughtt a new iphone 4s and the ipod app won't work. There is no sound in only that app. I can hear sound in pandora and other music apps. Anyone else have this problem? Help!

Without knowing what happens when you try to restore via iTunes as the screen is telling:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iMessages won't work on my new laptop

I just bought a brand new mac book pro laptop (10.9.4) and have been trying for weeks to get my iMessages to work on it.
Things I've tried:
old mac:
1. I've completely removed my icloud account on my old laptop. with a reboot.
New mac:
1. Completely removed iMessages on my new laptop with a reboot (a few times, and tried to reset everything in sync with my iPhone)
2. Signed in and out of the iCloud. removed my iCloud account and reset it up again.
3. signed in/out of my iMessages account (whilst rebooting and also tried doing that while my phone was off)
Iphone:
1. Signed off, signed on my iPhone.
2. logged out in airplane mode, then logged back on and re-added my iMessage account on my iPhone.
I'm completely out of ideas, I need to access my iMessages on my computer, PLEASE PLEASE HELP. I can't find any new suggestions, and am open to anything.

Hi,
Currently there are two causes why the Messages app will not launch (on first run it should open to the iMessages account requesting an Apple ID)
The App requires that the Font AppleGothic.ttf is present and functioning.
Use the Font Book to check it and Validate it (it is towards the bottom of the list and Validate is in the File menu).
The second reason is that sometimes the Serial Number is missing.
This should be "flashed" to a memory chip on the logic/Mother board.
In some cases or Repair or Refurbishment it gets missed.
You can check by using the About this Mac from the Apple Menu in the Menu bar, then clicking twice on the line that tell you the current OS level.
It will change to the Build number and then the Serial Number if it is present.

IMessage is not working for my new number it will let me use the number the phone was originally set to and my email address but since I updated to iOS 7 it won't let me select my new number; it is just in grey

I just updated to iOS 7 and now my iMessages won't work. It just keeps saying activating iMessage but it's not doing anything; I tried signing in with my Apple ID but then it just lets me send them using my email address and the number the phone was originally set to; even though that is not my actual number that I use as I changed it through Vodafone so the SIM card now has a different number.
It won't even let me click on my number to select it; it is just that faded grey colour and there are no ticks by it;
And when it says "may be a standard SMS charge to activate" I'm not even getting a text through to be able to activate it anyway
How can I fix this?

IMessage won't work and no notifications at all for any messages please help

iMessage won't work I know there is a problem but now I'm not getting any text notifications please help! Won't even vibrate

If you are having trouble with SMS messages, then you would need to address that with your carrier, unless you are receiving them and just not get a notification. If you have followed the steps I gave you for iMessage and you are not receiving notifications, then check the settings for Notification Center. If you have Messages set to show on the lock screen and play a sound, and display a banner, etc. then your next step is a restore. First restore from a backup, and if that doesn't work, then restore as a new device. Restoring the phone will result in the loss of all data. Make sure you have backed up the phone, synced all content and imported photos to the computer.

My iMessage won't work on my iPhone 4.

IMessage won't work with 1 contact. (iOS7)

iPhone 4s with iOS7
iMessage won't work with only 1 specific contact.
Prior to updating i was able to iMessage with the contact in question without issue.
Both of us updated to iOS7 yesterday, since then messages between us are Text Messages only. We screwed around with everything. We discovered if i send to his email address (checkmarked with iMessage) it works. ALSO...after searching and trying different things, he can send me iMessages from his number, but when i respond it switches SMSs . FaceTime also works.
It works with all my other contacts without issues.
We both tried the following.
- deleting eahcother as contacts,
- resets (many)
- turned off iMessage (reset network settings)
- logging in and out of appleID in several locations
- removed checkmarks from emails/phone number
- on WiFi, on 3G
- phone restore
Start new conversation: only my phone # is checkmarked. receinve, I have 3 emails and phone number
any ideas?
